Journey's End

I am so glad we were offered this opportunity to learn.
So many of these things can be helpful to our library staff for patron help and training help.
At first I didn't think I would be able to do alot of these exercises because some of them I had never heard of before. I have worked at the library a long time (before computers and air conditioning!!) but I was so pleased to see that through the very helpful sites and my very helpful co-workers I was able to keep up with the "things". I enjoyed the Library Thing ,we could put it to good use here. I liked zoho and wiki and exploring flikr too.
All and all I would do it again and I hope to go on and do some of the extra numbers.
To the doubters I say it is never to late to learn
Thanks

Net Library

I signed up for Net Library I looked around for awhile but unless you are doing research I didn't find it very user-friendly.
I did place a hold on a title from our e-books I look forward to seeing how it works when it is available.

Podcasts

I listened to an interview on NPR. The guest was Luciano Pavarotti and they spoke to him and played snippets of some of his works. I enjoyed it but it was kind of sad too.
I also (because of my blogname) listened to "3 wine guys" they did do some reviews of wine but they also did a lot of talking amongst themselves and some of it would not be appropriate for my blog.
I think we could incorporate podcasts in our training and on our web page. I think after this exercise is done we should look into some of the many options we have learned and use them to the library's benefit.
I couldn't do the feed to my bloglines I am going to see if I can get someone to help me with that.
