Second Time Around

Conclusion

2008-03-13T12:59:00.002-06:00

Flickr, RSS Feeds and Wikis are my favorites. I'm not a Techno person, but these web tools opened my eyes. I am going to spend many months exploring these sites because I know I only scratched the surface. The staff enjoyed the whole process, when I hit a roadblock they helped out and I shared most of the process with them . With these tools I'm hoping to give our Library more exposure.

The only down side is keeping track of all the passwords.

I would gladly participate in another discovery program.

Great job ladies.

Wikis

2008-03-11T12:36:00.002-06:00

Wikis provide information on a broad variety of subjects, its a valuable tool in viewing collaborations from a variety of groups. These resources can be time saving when you see how others have solved a problem in a similar situation. This is a great way of pooling expertise in different fields.

Tagging and Social Bookmarking

2008-03-04T11:16:00.002-07:00

Bookmarking and tagging will be a great tool for research and being able to organize the information with a tag will save alot of time. The potential to share with others and to learn from their bookmarks and comments could be limitless. I'm looking forward to cleaning up my favorites list and finally having some order on my computer.

Lesson 7

2008-02-20T11:03:00.003-07:00

Interesting variety of subjects. I did enjoy the How to & Style features. Amazed by some of the features . I did relax with the Travel features--- a chance to see the sites without having to spend any money.Libraries could customize a video to show a new addition, collection , need for repairs, upcoming events or even a need for volunteers. Here is one that caught my attention - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvLpuAqu0A8

Podcasting Unlimited

2008-02-14T13:32:00.002-07:00

This lesson was very challenging for me. I found many podcasts that interested me and could be useful to our patrons. One site on management really could be useful but I lost the link after listening to a couple of episodes . The following link I will keep a close eye on especially with the economy the way it is.

PlayTime

After losing a trading card in cyberspace I doubted my luck with the Play time assignment. I wish that I had more time to spend researching all these resources, but I don't.

North Valley Public Library

2008-02-02T12:45:00.000-07:00

The library's children's room. We accomplished this room with many volunteers, numerous donors, very little money and many, many layers of skin.

Visual Retreat

A picture from my co-worker's vacation. After these last few weeks this looks like heaven. Flickr became less of a problem than I thought, MAYBE I'm catching on.

RSS Week

2008-01-29T14:36:00.000-07:00

Somehow I managed to lose the ability to post to my previous blog, now I am just going to try this one more time. The feeds were awesome but I had information overload. Hopefully Flickr will be less of a challenge for me.
