I have created a Library Thing account to keep a record of books in my library related to icons. My library has grown over the past 5 years and just a few of my books are listed.

Folksonomies & Tagging - Technorati
Monday 29th June 2009
Searching Technorati for "Byzantine icons" retrieved just 16 results, while Byzantine icons retrieved 109. The listing of videos included in the search results were interesting.
The advanced feature proved useful for a specific search on "Saint Christina" with a tag of hagiography. This site was located along with another from Catholic Fire.
Technorati may be a useful tool for reference queries where little information is located in traditional resources.
Mi Piace Del.icio.us
Del.icio.us

Today I have created a Del.icio.us account. The first site I have tagged is for the Cultural Gifts Program & the listing of Approved Valuers. I use this site regularly in my work as a reference librarian.

My other passion in life is icon painting. I have been learning the technique of traditional icon painting since August 2004 with 'The Icon Painters of Brisbane'. To date I have completed 3 icons and have 3 more almost completed.
I have searched for blogs by other icon painters and have decided to follow 2 sites.
Gabriele in Germany has an interesting blog following the steps of her icon painting.
David Cassens, a librarian in St Louis also provides material of interest.
Mi Paicciano Social Networks
Friday 26th June 2009
Social networking in the work place is just another means of communication. My experience is limited to professional organisations. Here is the link to The Art Libraries Society / Australia and New Zealand.

Mi Piacciono Wikis!

St Joseph CountyPublic Library's Subject Guides wiki
This wiki provides useful links to subject organised categories. I particularly enjoyed browsing the subject guides under hobbies & entertainment. Great application of a wiki for libraries. The article Antiques & Collectibles is of particular interest as it provides a model for a similar application in my library.

Ravenna is a city of mosaics - a city to die for! World Heritage listed early Christian monuments that I visited in Ravenna in December 2006 include Neonian Baptistry 5th century, Galla Placidia Mausoleum 5th century, Arian baptistry 6th century, Archiepiscopal Chapel 6th century, basilica of Sant'Apolinare Nuovo 6th century, Mausoleum of Theodoric 6th century, Basilica of San Vitale 6th century and Basilica of Sant'Apollinare in Classe 6th century.
