My Thoughts

I have appreciated the opportunity to participate in this class...all in all a good experience. I found the amount of information and the speed with which we moved through it to be somewhat overwhelming. At the very least, this has been a great introduction to all of the new technology available to us...some of which I will pursue on my own personal time.

Moldi

After spending some time looking through the different audio books, I found several that I would be interested in downloading. I would love to be able to download these to my mp3 player as I could listen to them while walking.

Podcasts

I spent some time looking through the podcast directories, podcast alley, specifically. I found that alot of the podcasts were either older or didn't even exist. If I found a podcast that I was interested in, it would be nice to download it to my mp3 player and listen to it while I walk the dog. I'm not so sure that I see much use for podcasts from the library's perspective. I added a feed to my bloglines account, but I didn't find too many others that I would be interested in adding.

You Tube

All in all, I've found you tube to be an interesting resource. It's fun to be able to look up just about anything that interests you, worldwide. I'm not so sure, though, that there is much benefit for it in the work place. I also have concerns as a parent because of the content of much that is available with just the "click" of a key.

I had fun checking out one of my favorite things...pugs!!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=untfJnXUZeg

Web 2.0 toolbox

CML has put together a nice little toolbox...I was already familiar with some of these, and enjoyed playing around with some of the new tools that I hadn't used.

Web 2.0

Web 2.0 was fun to play around with.....while, I'm not sure that it would top our premium resources, it might be a good resource for our patrons.

Personally, I enjoyed visiting sites such as Urbanspoon, imcooked, and ifoods.tv. How neat to be able to connect with cooks all around the world!!

What's Up Doc?....Google Docs

After playing around with google docs, this isn't something that I would personally use, however, I think it could be a great resource for patrons to use in the library
