20th thing!

The Final Thing-Wow, I made it, and it feels good to know that I actually did this without any prompting or pushing from Martha!

Some of my favorite discoveries were that I'm not really afraid of computers after all! This was really a daunting task, especially for people like me, I had to accept responsiblity for my own learning, and I did it! Once I found that I could do this at my own pace, well that was very helpful.

With everything that goes on in a library, I feel that with this exercise, I'm more in tune to helping patrons besides my self with the internet and all it has to offer.

I think my favorite this from this exercise was setting up the blog and actually talking about my self and my personal feelings!

ROCK ON!!!!!

19th thing!

PodCasts-Interesting! I could not get into podcast.net, so I went into Yahoo Podcasts and listened a panel of so called experts talk about weither reviews still sell books, of course they do, how else would a book sell.

As far as the Podcast goes, it's supposed to help the user feel more comfortable with web tools, helping us to reach out to our users, interacting with information, with that said, the Internet is constantely changing, and we need to keep up or else!

18th thing!

WEB 2.0

Really liked this site! It totaly relates to our Library, especially the site I picked. I looked at Biblio.com-it is a marketplace for used, rare and out of print books, and they service over 5,500 independent book stores.

I think this site would be good for our system because, there are always patrons looking for books that are either old, or we don't have in the system anymore.

17th Thing.

On the Road Again---

I personally like using Microsoft Office, I see nothing wrong with it! As far as Google Docs, or Zoho Writer, I not quite comfortable using Google Docs, because I don't like the idea that someone could get my information easily.

Creating and sharing documents over the internet, well I guess it's just keeping up with the jones!!

16th Thing!

Wiki, Wiki, Wiki!

Who would not like the use of a free encyclopedia, and the fact that if you see anything wrong, you don't like, well you can change it!

I also like the fact it can be used as an online link that would possibly connect not just staff, or maybe even the whole town!

15th Thing!!!-Second Life!

Virtual living-hum, buying, selling, banking and possibly living in a world that really doesn't exist, it's not for me, but there are people every day that live outside the norm anyway!!!

14th Thing! Almost Done!!!!!!

Library 2.0-helps users find information, gather knowledge and create content. I guess this means that the Library is constantly updating and reevaluating services.
