Week 8 - Answer boards and social searching

Continuing on from Week 7, I've added my librarything widget to my blog but it's showing up in a post, not on the side, as I assume it should be.
Hopefully, I'll sort that out soon.

I think I know a lot about answer boards (forums) - I have been involved with them for many years. In fact, I do belong to taste.com.au (the example given) and I do often use Answers etc.

I am Admin for a couple of author websites: Philippa Gregory and Patricia Lewin.
I also am involved in other forums with different interests.

Very interesting:

Consider is there a role for your library in “slamming the boards”? In what ways might your customers like to rate or review items in the collection or services you offer? Share your thoughts in your blog.

Not really sure about this actually - I don't think there is much of a need for it.

I have asked a question in Yahoo Answers:

What is the difference between the harvard and oxford referencing system?
