I use pod casts all the time for book reviews from school library journal. They are very helpful.  

One way libraries are using pod casts is to help further their knowledge in the future of libraries and technology in libraries.

My director has the staff use podcasts all the time if there is a topic that she believes we all need to pay attention to.

google docs is very similar to microsoft office and we are using this for the Vermont Library Conference
I like that everyone can check in, proof, and make changes easier than in office.


I had trouble with this one and posted as a comment under the 23 things

Who is Bill Bartmann?

The Douglas County library can no longer be accessed this way.

I also use wikis all the time for movie themes and informationa bout authors. A drawback is that you never know if the information is correct or not.  This may work well  when we are working on our emergancy management planning.

I went on the Vermont's 23 things sandbox and got a bunch of great ideas for place to go in the state for some good food.  I also commented that Kinchley's pizza in Ramsey is one of my favorite places to go! I copied and pasted that comment here

I think twitter would be fun if I had a cellphone that was able to do this.  Some of my friends that are musicians tweet to tell people whena dn where they will be performing.

No offense, but I think that as a public we are already so wrapped up in what celebraties are doung, do we really need to know more? Unplug already!

Libraries in more populated areas may use twitter to post programming, or new releases, etc, but I am not convinced that tweeting is the answer for libraries.  I tried to search VT libraries and found only one person tweeting, and also looked up vermont as a general search, but there was really nothing that interesting there.


I wouldn't say I hate microblogging, I just don't feel that it is for me,.

this is the comment that I had made under #14 for twitter

It seems that we are having to sign up alot of accounts putting our information out there in a lot of different places. It is starting to make me a little nervous, and I don’t think Im going to open a delicous account.

I believe that library patrons could use this tool if they do not own their own personal computer and want to bookmark sites.

All in all I thought that Delicious was a bit confusing and I plan on keeping my bookmarking to Firefox.  It is more comfortable and easily accessable to me rather then opening new accounts all over the internet.

When searching something that I was interested in, I found that it came up with the same hits as it did in google, and I will continue using google for my searches.

When searching the 23things delicious page, I found nothing current or of any importance that would lead me to believe that this tool would be very useful to me.



  
I did not originally post on #13 because I had commented about it on the 23 things. Sorry about that.

Lesson 11 #23!!!!!!

Wow! That went by really quickly! I have learned a lot and this is a great tool.  Especially for folks that are intimidated like me!

I really liked almost all of the exercises and I have and will continue to use a lot of them.

I use facebook a lot for library announcements, and I think if more of my friends and family had flickr I would utilize that more as well.

I also have printed out and hanging up in my office the 7 and 1/2 habits and the web award short list website.  It's a reminder to me that I am learning new things everyday and that the web is constantly changing!

I did not make an account for some of the exercises because I felt REALLY uncomfortable having my e-mail out in so many places. I appreceated having the wiki already set up for those exercise and think that it wqould be a good idea to have accounts like that for the exercises so that we are not using all of our own personal information.

I doubt however that I will do anything with this blog now that I am done with the 23 things.

I would definitely participate in another discovery program if it was offered.
