Thing #16 Wiki's

I liked looking at what other libraries are doing. It is a good tool for getting ideas for programs and how they do things.

OCL's Wiki page had alot of good information. Some things that I didn't know and I've worked here for 25 years! I enjoyed it very much.

Library 2.0

What's next?! HMMMM!!

Learning about the way customers can ILL items is frightening ( in a good way I guess!) to someone who works in that department.

Technorati

I liked Technorati for current events. There were also alot of articles that you wouldn't find in regular news sites. I also liked being able to blog with others about the articles.

del.icio.us

I like the idea of being able to "take all my favorites with me" on other computers. Tagging is great too if your working on a project and want to keep all your information together. Seeing what others are tagging is also very helpful in looking for information and websites.

Thing #12

Net Library seems to be a good resource for the downloads. To be able to download a book to your own MP3 player for free is a great concept. I also like to idea of being able to find books or manuals after library hours. Especially with a "last minute student" at home.

WorldCat is another story. Working in the ILL Dept. customers are now telling us where to get the books they want. This doesn't always work out because some of the libraries that own the item are not lenders to us or the item does not circulate. We have had to deal with some of these "know it all customers" already.

#11

Thanks to EO I got the list on my blog. I enjoyed seeing what others had in their library and being able to see their reviews of the books. The groups were pretty interesting too. There was group that was going to watch one of the Harry Potter movies at the same time then discuss it on here. That would be fun to do.

In addition to #10

We bought Shelby a digital TV for Christmas. First of all, Jeff couldn't believe we were walking out of the store with a TV in one hand the size of a suitcase! Then come to find out with the DVD player built in she can play DVD's and music and she can insert her SD card from her camera and have a digtal photo slide show on her TV. Pretty amazing if you ask me!
