overall

There are some useful sights and some useful technologies.  However each of the tools needs to be evaluated by the library to see if they fit their specific patrons.  Some tools are cool and definatly could be of help in a library setting like Zotero ect.  These could be applied directly to helping with access to information.  However some tools I couldnt think of use for but are interesting tools.  It all depends on the person.

google maps

I went through google maps to become more familiar with it and I must say that maybe not so helpful in a general library setting but more so in a cool geography reference way.  You can search by address, state, country, or something more random like universal studios.  Its a lot of fun especially with the US.  You can look at your own house or street.  Its a wonderful tool to learn geography in a fun way or just trying to find something. 

Library 2.0

interesting Idk how I feel about web 2.0 let alone 3.0.  2.0 has some good newer tech and some useless newer tech that honestly makes no sense.  As far as web 3.0 I honestly will lose faith in mankind the day the majority of ppl stop leaving there homes and just live in a fake virtual world.  That day which will come hopefully comes after I am long dead.  Imagine people the most social creatures on the planet sitting at a computer moving through a virtual world including a library... terrible

Rollyo and Zotero

My Zotero Library and My Rollyo search roll So both Rollyo and Zotero have interesting possible applications for any library professional.  With Zotero you can basically create detailed bookmarks to help either yourself or others to find information of subjects easier. Its like a cataloging system that you create.  Rollyo I have not decided how I feel about.  You need to add websites for a specific topic and then you can search under that specific topic for information on only those sights.  It eliminates garbage but you have to sift through the garbage to begin with so it can go either way.  Both are useful in a number of ways.

Stuff http://www.librarything.com/catalog/KTN12345

Library Thing is interesting if you want to learn all that you ever wanted about certain books.  A helpful tool that could be useful in any library for people who want to learn more or even to browse books.

google

I recently switched to gmail and have been working with the various tools for a bit now.  Google docs is helpful when you have multiple ppl contributing to a document.  They can be anywhere at anytime and access and edit something that already exists.  Its only downfall is possible information loss but you can save a backup and you can go into the history if your the documents creator and find anything that's been deleted.  As for the other google tools.  Calender is probably the most helpful and I use it and have reminders emailed to myself so I remember when assignments are due, I am meeting people, and other important things.  I recommend google calender for people with a lot going on. It is user friendly and helpful.

Wicked wiki's

wiki's are a pretty useful source of information provided that the people providing you with that information or contributing to the wiki are invested in it.  WIKI's are definitely useful to all libraries.
