Patrick,
How about a 4 column document (online or hardcopy)
Col 1: Name of Tool / Resource
Col 2: URL for Tool / Resource
Col 3: Purpose / Function of Tool / Resource
Col 4: Name & optional email of person submitting Tool / Resource

This is a fantastic idea, I could think of a few of things I would like to share. We don’t have a Zotero workshop, so I could cover a 5 minute intro on how to use it in the archive or for courses…

Or like a “here are tools that I use every day” thing. Half the time, Patrick, you’re right — all I need is the name of something and what it does, and then if I’m interested I can go check it out myself.

Definitely doesn’t have to be recent! That just struck me as one particularly useful way to play. The idea is just any quick knowledge-sharing that anyone wants to do. I’m thinking I’d do a 5 minute “This is RDF triples”, which is certainly not new to me, for example.

Come to think of it, it might be useful to treat the idea as a swap meet. Maybe a two-column list of what people could give a 5 minute lesson about, and what people _want_ a 5 minute lesson about?

Patrick, I like that idea a lot, but dose it need to be “recent” learning? Some folks have useful habits that others might want to adopt or adapt. Like the “Getting Things Done” meme has generated may physical and many software tools to meet personal work styles.

For example when I talked about mind mapping at one CAMP the conversation ranged from computer software, to paper notebooks, to those large easel pads of paper for capturing mind maps for planning or brain storming. Multiple modalities with similar out comes.

Thanks and #HNY
