Friends
I'm so excited - I just found one of my dearest friends on facebook and now on blogger! It will be wonderful to be able to keep in touch in more ways than email!

Thing 17
Wiki's are interesting. Some I looked at were no longer being updated, so it tells me they weren't ver useful. I attended a workshop on Wiki's at convention a couple years ago and it didn't seem like anyone ever did anything with it. It was on book reviews.
The Wiki I really liked that I looked at was the 2008 ALA convention - everything was right there that you would need in one spot!
Library use - maybe event pages where staff could add instead of the webmaster being the only one to add to our web pages??
The most frustrating part for me is that I wish there was one big umbrella for all these applications so we didn't need to go to different places and log in.

Thing 16
Libary 2.0 - where will all this technolgy take us??? I feel very strongly about keeping a good collection of materials in print form for all kinds of people. Everyone doesn't want to look at things on line. I know the younger generation will probably be more excited about all these new applications than older people. Everyone doesn't have the same skills to be able to use these.
Libraries have to change to keep up but at what cost? Are there going to be no more books for people to curl up by the fire and read? Do you have to sit at a computer or with your laptop?

Thing 15
I have actually helped put together a power point before and it wasn't too hard. I work with pictures alot and use slideshows with different programs. There are really alot of neat slideshows on this slideshare site. I don't do presenatations but it is fun to look at what others have done.

Thing 14
I checked out Delicious and this is something that I think I will use. I have so many bookmarks on my computer at home and so many folders it sometimes is hard to find something that I'm looking for. Adding tags will make it so much better!
We have lots of links on our library page and I checked out how Holdrege Public Library did theirs and I think it's really cool! I think it would be interesting to try this. I went through some other links and sometimes I came to a link that didn't work anymore. That is the bad thing about bookmarks - websites change so often and then the bookmark is useless!
I opened an account and added a few bookmarks, but right now don't feel comfortable making them public. I will try it out for awhile and can always change some later.
