Week #10 - #23 Is this really the end? Or just the beginning...

YEAH!!!!!!!!! This is it!!!!

My favorite sites were - Podcasts - YouTube
Animoto
Avitar
Myspace

These sites and others that we learned about are very helpful for us, when a patron comes in and needs help -- we are website friendly!!!! This exercise forced us to learn different things available on the Internet and if we werent doing this, I don't think as many people would have done it. Good idea!!!

Have workshops for patrons at our library - I think its easier for people to learn and get help at the library.

I would like to learn any new things that are coming up - to keep up with what teenagers are doing (have one of those).

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Week #9 - #22 Downloadable Media

This week challenge was really awesome. Our library digital site is wonderful. Now is there is any questions from our patron, I am more fully informed that a couple of months ago. This is a very helpful site and have awesome downloads.

Week 9 #21 Podcasts, Smodcasts

It's obvious that I love recipes and cooking so I chose a cooking oriented podcast - it is called The Cooking Show. The last podcast in the series was all about using leftovers, like KFC, to create new meals. I added the feed to my Bloglines account. Now I have a total of thirteen feeds. Podcasting was a little tough, but new and interesting too!

Week #9 - # 20 Discover You Tube

Ha ha ha, I found a video of Elvis the library chicken!




This site is fantastic. Having a 'Youtube' can help library websites to post videos with helpful information for customers.

Week #8 - #19 - Web Based Apps

I learned alot this week setting up and using the Zoho site. I never knew it existed. This will come in handy when anywhere I travel. I love the way you can share with others what you type. This is great for all ages (school age, college kids, adults, etc.)

Week #8 - Social Networking

I loooooooovvvvveee the Catster, Dogster, and HGTV Rate My Space sites. I have already signed up for Catster and Dogster. I love animals. I also like to watch HGTV (any programs) and enjoy going to this site. Everyone have different interests and I have selected my social networking sites.

Week #7 - So whats in a Wiki?

Of all of the sites for Wiki, I really liked St. Joseph County Library (SJCPL) and Book Lovers Wiki (Princeton). I will be using these sites. It is very easy to open up an account with Wiki. The only part that takes long is when you want to edit, you then have to wait your turn till the other blogger signs out.

To find 'Library Elf' you need to put it on the search line on the internet web address block. Setting up account was easy to do. Another good way to setup individual library account.

Week #5 - Play Week - Library Thing

This is a great way to select books that you like and share them with other blog readers. The process was very easy to do. I love Mrs. Pollifax books, they are so funny and easy to read.

Week #4: RSS & Newsreaders

This so far has been the most difficult exercise and very challenging. :( After you finally get a link feed correct, you can do alot of things!!! :)

I prefer going to a favorite website and looking for the RSS logo to link it to my blog.
