Week 9 #20

Having trouble with You tube. Not sure what I'm doing wrong or do I have it done correctly...how do I know? Don't seem to have enough time to play so will ask one of the 'already done' bloggers to help me next week. SaraSmile. I finally got this to work...what a kick, it was really great getting this to work and on my blog. SaraSmile.

Blog poll

Adding a blog poll was the neatest thing to do. Think of all kinds of possibilities for this. Can't wait to try some more. SaraSmile.

Week 8 #18, #19

What a kicker that was, to create a document and then post it on my blog. I think this really has potential for anyone to use it. Can't wait to try more, more , more.

Here I am at Harford County Public Library in Maryland the best library in the universe. Come join us at www.hcplonline.info. This is SaraSmile.

First trial document 7.6.07 SaraSmile

This is a test document just so I can try using this new web feature, Zoho Writer. It doesn't seem to be much different than using Word or any other word document. I just got an alert about sending this as a non-encrypted document ... now what does that mean, something else to learn about I guess.

Week 7 #16, 17

Wikis, well think they are shared created websites for anyone or group to create and use. By having many different links and information to share with others. Possibilities: to show new titles lists by format for librarians, show neat sites for answering questions at librarians desk, share ideas, share things that you know work. Also could share what works behind the scenes too, like titles just ordered, what new formats of materials are being ordered and how are they processed/shelved. Oh, and could share examples of how our materials are shelved, and what not to do to an item (*like librarians never would add labels to an item for their own branch stuff).
Marylandlibrariessandbox -- I added my blog to this list....it was amazing to see it and it actually works, my entry when clicked brings you to my blog, how amazing is that! Now what do I do with that information now....wait and see what I can come up with now.

Week 6 #13, 14, 15

Having some trouble creating my Delicious and Technorati accounts but will continue on and get back to this later...I was able to read some of the articles about Web 2.0 and my mind can only wonder and guess how it will be used and change in the future. It makes me glad that my library promotes use of new technologies and keeps our library up to current with changes with technologies so our customers will have access to the most current features available as that is what we do isn't it...provide materials and information -- what better way to do it then with the web, information that is.

World Cat

Looked at World Cat for the first time...oh boy what a cool feature to use. Not only can you search for and find the item you are looking for on a World Cat search on the web, but you can search and find it in your local library at the same time---this is something that I had wondered if anyone would ever get to developing (many years ago) and here it is. Really cool!
