Zoho Writer

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

My name is Martha Renne. _{I work at the Sterling Library.}  

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.

PBWiki

It was kind of neat to have my blog with the other LCPL blogs.

Wikis

This a good way for staff and patrons to give book reviews that are not done by professional reviewers.

Learning 2.0

After reading about all of the different bibliographic services available now and in the future to libraries, it will be interesting to see how LCPL will use them .

Technorati

I did keyword, tag and blog directory searches. I was not impressed with this exercise.

Rollyo

It will be nice to search all my favorite sport sites at once.

LibraryThing

This was fun. I intend to add more books later.

Generators

I created my own flavor of ice cream at the Ben and Jerry's website, called Brownie Surprise.

Finding Feeds

This was an interesting exercise. I will use this one to keep up with my favorite sports team.

Bloglines

This is an easy way to collect updated news from my favorite websites.

Blog about Technology

Modern technology is moving too fast for me!!

I posted a comment on Phoebe Terry's blog.

This is my trading card.

I thought this was interesting.

7 1/2 Habits

The easiest habit for me is to view problems as challenges because that is just the way my live works.The hardest habit for me is to create my own learning toolbox because as a person who is organizationally challenged, it is hard for me to put things into a box.
