A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to attend the JISC Netskills workshop: Improving your online presence in Edinburgh. It was a two day event jam packed full of lots of advice & ideas about search engine optimisation and social media. The highlight of the workshop for me, however, was a short 8 minute video of Patty Maes demonstrating the Sixth Sense at the TED conference earlier this year.
The brainchild of Pranav Mistry, a Research Assistant and PhD candidate at the MIT Media Lab, the Sixth Sense is a wearable device that will enable us to gain seamless access to information…wherever we are! All I can say after watching the video is brilliant, brilliant, brilliant AND I want one! You’ve really got to see it to believe it, so rather than me attempting to communicate the brilliance of the Sixth Sense, watch the video!
As a librarian and book lover I’m particularly excited about the impact the Sixth Sense will have on how we select, evaluate and tag books (5.53 mins into the film).
The future; I can hardly wait! 
Hi! I’m a student (future librarian) and i loved your blog,a lot of interesting things and you seem to really love what you do.I’ll be commenting here frequently,for sure.
Now,i’m going to watch the video! 
Hey Verônica
Thanks for the lovely comment. I’m glad that you like the blog.
Researching public libraries is the best job ever; I still can’t believe that I get paid to do a job that I love!
Best of luck with your studies – I’ll keep up to date with your progress via Twitter – I’m now following your updates!
