Week 9 Thing 23

Although this learning experience has been frustrating at times, I'm glad I did it because I think that I am now more aware if what is available out there. Some of these things, like Web Apps, Library Thing, RSS feeds, wikis, audio books - I think could be very useful to me and to the library. And then other things seemed fairly useless to me - although I'm sure not everyone would feel that way. I would probably participate in another discovery program like this because I think I learned things here that otherwise I would not have learned on my own.

Week 9 Thing 22

Browsed through Overdrive - was already familiar with it and had previously checked out an audio book from there. Good easy way to access audio books.

Week 9 Thing 21

I looked into Yahoo Podcasts and suscribed to one, so it is now on my bloglines account. Once again, so much information out there and it's all overwhelmiing to me. I looked up book review podcasts - came up with 117 of them - a lot of them had 3 or fewer subscribers, so I'm thinking that they might not be worth my time to look at. I guess once you spend the time looking through all the podcasts and subscribing to the ones you are interested in, then the information would be conveniently available. Just a lot of start up time, and then of course, there will always be new ones out there.

Prangstgrup Library Musical - Reading on a Dream PRANK!!

Spent some time looking around YouTube - so many videos! I got a little lost, there is just so much material there to wade through. I did enjoy this library musical.
