Library Thing I was able to get further on the site today and a great site.
I signed up for Goodreads. I added some of the books I have read and will add more as I read
them. This will be a useful site to pass on to some of the patrons, the ones that are Internet
usurers.

The Libraries Games would not download on to my computer. I will try at the Library.
I look at the site and read what I could. I have very little interest in the games.

Looked at the RPC and assignment calculator. This would be most helpful at our library
for the middle school students and high school students. We also have a local Tec. school
and student come in to study or do research. I suggested this site to my daughter who
is in college.

We use ELM already and have set people up with the site to use at home.

Productivity tool

Online productivity tool is very helpful. It will take a bit to learn it all and get use to using it.
It reminds me of a Franklin planner online.

Library Thing We could add it to our site it would add some features to our site. like access
to book reviews and reviews by other people in their area.

I could not sigh up at this time I will go back and try again.

IM: instant messages helpful if the person is online and you need to get questions and answers back and forth fast. It truly is like a conversation on the phone. This is the way a lot of people.
Today I learned was we can help people find recent newspaper articles in a few minutes.



I chose the gogle start page. No I will not make it a permanent home page at this time.



Taging : Yes, we can do the research a head of time then when we have time help the patron

to learn how to get to the sights. The list is public so others can easil get to them once we make

them. I like the organiaing or information and catergortiaing resources with ease.

I like the idea of notices on their cell phones. Then if their out and about they can stop by the
library for their books. etc.

We use Minitex: Elm is the most use site at our library we help patron set up accounts for Elm
about once a week.

Setting up a collaboration tool would be useful for board members working on a draft of something with input from everyone and not have to meet in the same place.

I spent a lot of time online on saturday the comment that you could get caught-up in the internet and all the information at your access is dangerous.

Wiki-The fact that anyone can change or add to information is strange for me. I think the the
wikipeda is a good place to look at but not for final accurate information.

Flicker and beyond

I set up a flickr account. Whow! this could be fun. this can also help a person be creative.

I was a litte confussing at times, but will get easy with use.

I just got back to working on the program today. the video was short and easy to understand.
I am using time on a day off.
I hope to learn how to use the internet more. feel comfortable with the access to information.
