Thing 9 - Sharing

This is an interesting tool and given the time I would love to use it in the Library, however at teh present time I do not have the time to sit down and learn the program. I do see this being very useful when promoting either an ongoing program or making bookmarks that highlight a particular program that has taken place in the library.I am going to work with our teen and children's staff to incorporate this into their publicity and their programs.

Thing 8 - Communication - web 2.0 style.

I love Google Talk. We use it here at the Library ti improve our communication between our different Departments as well with the Library Cooperative that we are members of. I have a My Space and a Facebook page. I use My Space to "talk" with my nieces and nephews who live in Central Florida. I use Facebook to communicate with colleagues from the Library Leadership Institute. I am still adjusting to these Social Networking sites but it is a very interesting and convenient frm of communication and it has very definite apllication to Libraries.

Thing 7 - Image generators

This would be a very valuable tool for libraries to use and I may use it as I have time to sit down and really learn the program.

Thing 6 - Mashups

Thing 5: Flickr

Flickr is awesome, I love it. My wife and I are going to set up a family account for ourselves as well as one for my mother. We are going to use flickr for library photos. This will allow us to share them with other people and have them readily available. We are creating accounts for each department as well as for the library in general.

Thing 4

Well, it has been awhile since I've posted to my blog but due to illness and a family emergency I am behind on my posts. I did the work and saved it to a thumbdrive depending on where I was but I digress. I think that RSS feeds are a great tool and they should be used by Librarians everywhere. I have added about 25 of them to my google page through the google reader. It helps me stay current with what is going on in the library world as well to track the bothe the local and the world news.

RSS Feeds

WOW! This is a really cool way to follow information in subjects and people of interest. It is much easier that constantly searching the net for this information.
