NET LIBRARY

I enjoyed using this and I think I will definitely use it frequently. What a great tool

Podcasts

Podcasts

Podcasts are not my favotite things in the world, I would much rather read something than listen to it, and pretend that you are there while you arereading it.I understand with interviews it can be better because you can hear the tension I did like the organization if podcast.com It was easy to move through and find things that were appicable to us


locating podcast
Search tool

I went through podcast.net to see what podcast I could find about books,there were so many it was hard to over look them all,anyway,zoho writer ,ebooks ects .Iam podcast will continue to be a growing movement for all kinds of topics and interests ,it offers an exceedingly wide choice for anyone to listen and to learn .

WEEK 9

You Tube

Well Have seen students going on youtube in the library,not for the first time, but I have also searched for myself too,It was fun to take my own time and see how many defferent types of videos there are for just one song. There were few funny jokes as I searched for,sadly it was not as funny .I have used google Video before just messing around. Iam not sure that the searching capabilities are tat of youtube, but there were some really funny ones which made a laughingfloria

WEEk 8 Online Applications & Tools

WEb 2.0

THis on is beyond me.I played around with this progrem some,but feel that it is truly only useful for those who do web publishing a great deal,or who need a word thing.

Sandbox

Sandbox

Well I think the idea is good.Granted, professionally Iam not sure it will come in handy. For fun, it is right, The book section is what I felt could tie in the most to us.Viewing wiki and contributing to wikis are two very different things.

WEEK 7

I love Wikis. Wikispedia has been one of my jumpings off points for most questions for a while. People from all over can come together and create awesome definitions and links to other information. there is the downside t o wikis with how open you are to everyone adding information,and some regulation needs to be in palce
The wikis wouldn't need to be just about "librayish" stuff.The library is a center for the community now.Including topics like local politics,school changes,market shifts and weather could all become a part of the libray wwiki.We have mission to get infromation our patrons need to them.wikis could do that in an easy and straight forward way


Sandbox wiki

Wikis are funny thngs It can be very lively,My expereince with learning 2.0 wiki sandbox was a positive one. It was relatively easy and dare I say have fun,the most cool thing is that anyone can edit it,and it also sad about wiki.
I would love to learn how to set a wiki up for myself.

Web 2.0 awards

I started looking through the Web 2.0 award winners when I came across Google's new Open Source Word Processor, Writely.com. I tried it out and it's worlds ahead of Zoho Writer. I blogged my document no problem. See below:See? Now THIS is what I'm talking about. Google...is my hero. I don't care if they become evil, corporate monsters. Their code just does what it's supposed to. And it's clear & precise.Take that Zoho Writer!___________

Library 2.0

Library 2.0

I read through most of the articles on library 2.0 and the main idea I got from several of them is that library system as a whole need to inbtegrate themselves more fully into our technology driven world and take advantage of all the tools that are avaiable to share information,not only regionally but globally.I agree that libraries need to be accessable and as techno-freindly as especially when you see elementary school chirldren that are pros at surfing the internet and toddlers who are learning to sue key boards and mouse to play computer games.

Week 6 Tagging, Folkisomomies&Technorati

Technorati


technorati is useful. It provides a great way to search the web for bolgs focused on a specific subject of interest.I've been enjoying its 'popular" section,especially the vidoes

Includings the "technorati tags" on the button of the blog posts seems a bit cumbersome to me.I don't think I'll be doing that.But,should I channge my mind,I know where to find the info about it now

Week 6 Tagging,Folksonomies & Technorati

del.icio.us

Having some fun with del.icio.us
Usinh popular tags (or creating your own) is the same thing as having your very own personalized catalog of favorite web sites.
I've added the de.icio.us and tag buttons to my computers browser, so now its as easy as clicking on a button to add new web site to my "catolog"

Rollyo

This is pretty cool. Its not the most practical thing for me off the bat,but I think after a while I will truly know hoe to use it

Image Generators





So I Liked the image generating thing. In looking for image generators through, I discoverd that I liked the pharse or word generators more ,Seriously, I could spend hours jsut typing in random words to see what opos back out


Library Thing

I've subscribed to a few library or book related bolgs and /or new feeds.You can choose any or all your favorite genres,and receice feeds each time a review is added in your choice(s)


Happy Booking

Week 4 RSS & NEWSREADERS

Hi friends,Another day,another blog.Iam really enjoying learning all about these crazy new tecnology

Well gone through RSS , At first I didny knew what Rss is until I browse through it.all this we were using RSS But never knew it Yes If you are using yahooOr Google than it means you are useing RSS feeds are pretty cool because they allow you to quick easy way to chek out news,etc I think they would definitely come in handy for the system on our websites> they are definitely a good thing


Thing 9
Library related blog and news feed

A useful news feed I found that I like was"feeste I search by one of fovorite I searched by all catogories,blog, news and podcasts,I did'nt find anything that was useful to me I actually gone through everything for that was useful,(Topis.net)catagoriesISyndics 8) etc. To get an overview first very helpful most. hah top searches an popular which I found really good.
