Thing 23

I enjoyed learning about Web 2.0. It made me feel like I was back in school learning something new. Most of the information was new to me. My favorite part about Web 2.0 was the chance to work with other staff and help each other with Thing 22 Listen NJ. I shared my blog with my family. I am looking forward to using a wiki for children's services.

The END.

Listening to Green Eggs and Ham

I followed the steps and needed assistance to download the audio book Green Eggs and Ham.
I listened to the story at the reference desk just before the library closed on Friday.
Listen NJ will become a useful tool in the future for patrons that have difficulty traveling to the library.

This youtube video is by Neil Diamond. It is the song Be and is one my favorite songs to listen to.
It is also interesting to watch Neil Diamond singing in action. Searching YOUTUBE on the internet was fun. There were several musicians that I watched in concert and listened to the music.

Blog about a web 2.0 award winner

Under the health link there is www.medstory.com with information from Medlineplus and the nih. This would be good to use for patrons that come from the doctor's office looking for more information about a certain ailment.

Google docs or Zoho

Google docs or zoho could be used after staff meetings and have the person taking notes type in the meeting notes and then everyone could go back in and add anything that is missing and sign their name that they have read the meeting notes.

Also google docs could be used for projects for youth services that requires input from each youth service librarian.

Blogging about it

This is an interesting way to find out about other staff and what is important to them. The tasks are not difficult but can be challenging at times. It has been sort of difficult to find the time in between other duties to keep up with each week's assignment for me. Teamwork has aslo helped me with the assignments and I am grateful to my co-workers for helping out here and there. Thanks!
