Zoho Writer

This was fun, but confusing. My test document is posted below.

My name is Martha Renne. I work at the Sterling Library. cool 

Podcasts

I went on Podcasts.net and searched for podcasts about Hawaii so I can keep up with the news from there. I posted the feed for 808Talk: Hawaii Podcast on my blog.

Del.icio.us

This was hardest activity for me because I had trouble setting up my account. I looked at a coworker's site and I could see how it works and how useful it can be as a reference tool.

The End or the Beginning!

This was a real learning experience for me. I have not done all of the "things" as completely as I would like. I plan to revisit them in the future to continue the learning process.

It was a realitively painless way to accquire knowledge about newer websites and online resources that will be helpful as we do day to day reference work.

Audiobooks

This a website I have used before many times. It is one of my favorites.

YouTube

I liked the YouTube site because I was able to find obscure information about old tv shows.

I chose the Maverick video because it was from my favorite tv show when I was a young teenager.

I think the You Tube website and others like it can be helpful when answering a reference question about recent and past videos.

Discovering Web 2.0 tools

I tried many of the short cut tools. I especially enjoyed the mapping. I found it interesting and helpful. This will be a useful site when patrons are looking for a destination and don't know much about the distance or the area.
