Mara Williams on 26 Apr 12Explore this place! This is a searchable collection of links to tools to help researchers conceive a project, collect data, organize and analyze it (including sections on mapping and data visualization), write, and publish. It is organized into intuitive categories based on what you want to do. Within each category, you can order the results by cost, platform, etc. This would be a great place to find tools for the toolplay workshops.

nathan_georgitis on 26 Apr 12Pretty good list! Thin annotations, but the websites for the tools tell all. Some tools I use regularly in the archives and some I've heard about but not really investigated, like Omeka. From Omeka website: "Museums need systems that allow them to engage their publics and build communities around objects." I may do a toolplay on this. Outcome: Omeka offers museums, libraries, and archives easy ways to push content to their online visitors through feeds and rotating featured items and exhibits on the homepage, while also giving visitors opportunities to contribute content to a museum's digital collections, comment on items, or share museum object data with a visitor's personal social networks.

Rosalynn Rothstein on 01 May 12From their description of the project "Bamboo DiRT is the tool-centric node in what its developers hope will be a growing ecosystem of specialized directories that can achieve sustainability by combining topical focus with seamless data exchange where appropriate." I could see how this resource would be helpful if you were thinking about how far you needed to go with the data you have collected.

Rosalynn Rothstein on 01 May 12This tool seems pretty simple. It is a audio voice recorder that lets you annotate an event. But apparently, you can use it on your smartphone and it time stamps the recording. http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/rehearsalassist/wiki
