In conclusion...

I found the 23 things to be a good excercise. If I were to make any suggestions, I would say that the links should always open in a new window. It was difficult at times to click back and forth between the windows.

Overdrive digital media collection

I looked up Sara Gruen's Water For Elephants. I had actually checked this book out before and I enjoyed it a whole lot. It is good to know that the books on CD are available through the web site. Now that I am more familiar with the process of renting a book on CD, I will be able to help patrons with questions and problems.

Finding podcasts

I found an online radio station that broadcasts out of New Jersey. It is called WFMU. There were many podcasts to choose from, but I chose one that featured old music from 78's. I collect records, so the podcast struck a chord with my interests. I posted it on my bloglines account under music. Hopefully others will learn about WFMU and listen in for more.

youtube

Beethoven + The Muppets =




I am familiar with youtube.com and use it often to watch videos that usually cannot be found on TV. However, it is not easy to use youtube at the library, because of security blocks.

Web 2.0 Winners

I chose a cooking website called I'm Cooked. It was really fun to watch videos of people cooking the recipies they had submitted to the site. It gave the site a really personal touch. I think that with the number of cooking books we have in the library, our patrons would enjoy interacting with a site like I'm Cooked.

Zoho

Zoho is a great tool for people who do not have their own computers with microsoft word or word pad. It also allows access to wiki's and other great features. I am glad to know about it.

Library 2.0

In order to keep up with new technologies, the libarary has had to adapt. I think this is a good thing. It makes the library more accessible.
