reading notes 11/1
HTML Basic. This is an interesting site that explains the basics very simplistically. I like that they show you the actual HTML examples and how they look on a webpage while explaining the elements and attributes that make it up. It makes HTML very simple. I especially find the formatting interesting.
The cheat sheet has a lot of the information found in the HTML basic page. I think it would be a useful tool if I was writing a webpage! It is interesting to see all of the little tags that make up a webpage.
CSS is a little more complicated. It seems useful, but I'm not sure I understand how it is external. It sounds like the external CSS can be used for multiple pages and an internal one is used for a single page.
Beyond HTML. This article shows how useful a CMS is. The college I work at uses this and it is helpful that all the libguides are similar. I cannot imagine each librarian being forced to make their own with no training. This would make them extremely difficult to use. The CMS really levels the playing field for people that don't know how to write in HTML. I liked this article because it is a real life example of an issue libraries have. Thanks GSU for sharing!

Can you explain the difference between a URL and PURL again? Why would someone prefer to have a PURL?

Reading Notes 10/25
Dismantling Integrated Library Systems
I found this article really interesting because I often wonder about ILS. I often use Innovative's Millenium system and it seems like it's pretty old school. It's very simple and I find it pretty slow. I never had thought about the price of this system, but from what I've heard additional applications on it are pretty expensive so maybe this is the best we get? I find the idea of having to "dismantle the ILS in order to rebuild it." This seems like the best choice to me.
How Stuff Works
This article was so easy to understand and I especially liked the graphics. It gave me a much better idea of how the internet works.
Inside the Google Machine
That picture of the globe with the languages of google searches is most interesting. It is crazy to think about how many people are doing google searches at one time. Once I thought about I realized I alone probably do about a dozen searches a day, both on my iPod and on my computer. Google is such an impressive company. I wish I worked somewhere you can have dogs and that takes you skiing! AdSense is brilliant. I had looked into it before when I interned for a consulting firm that only does work for non-profits. I find the related searches hilarious...that poor kid. I have so much respect and awe for them.

Reading Notes 10/15
I had no clue the ethernet had been around for so long. Many times I've noticed the "LAN" icon on my computer, but was not sure what it is. I didn't realize there were so many different ways to spread information (through different wires and various rays).
Can a device be connected to more than one network at a time?

muddiest points 10/4
It seems like any kind of database has a table; does that mean that any sort of table is a database? For example, if I drew a table on paper with some data on it is it a database? Or what about something like a color wheel?

Muddiest Points 9/27
I don't really have a muddiest point from this week, but I was curious about higher resolution photos. If the human eye cannot see the difference, why does it matter? If we can't see that it's better how do we know it's better quality?
