Mind map generator

Hello Library 2.0 colleagues! For those of us who were in on the conference session that mentioned mind maps, here's a site to generate mind maps from a text outline: http://www.text2mindmap.com/. Love those visual learning tools! Best to all, Marsha Hinnen

Hi Marsha,

My recent LIS Diploma course exposed me to the concept of mind mapping. My younger colleagues had experienced the concept in high school. I prefer to write lists of ideas and didn't find mind mapping a constructive thought process. To go through the motions, I used Word Art for the exercise. [copy enclosed]

Mind mapping was popularised and commercialised by Tony Buzan who cites on his website that the term 'mind map' is a trademark. As a commercial venture, it is far from the ideals that I hold of librarianship for freely sharing knowledge and resources.

Best.
