Thing # 21...Wrapping Up!!

Wahoo... I must say that I enjoyed Web 2.0. I found it to be a great way to learn and become familiar with soo many new sites and resources. As a front desk service person, I would not need to use all the resources everyday, but am certainly thrilled to have learned about them to share with the public. I felt is was a great interactive way to connect staff and assist everyone in removing themselves from their comfort zones and to help us all learn and expand our horizons. My favorite is NetLibrary as I love being able to read a book whenever I have access to any computer! I have assisted my friends and family to sign up, and they all love it! Learning about BING vs Google has also opened up new searching opportunities for all! Thank you for helping OCL staff learn in order to better assist themselves and the public!

Thing # 20 ListenNJ

I have used ListenNJ and find it to be a wonderful alternative for getting reading done without having to carry around the book! Several customers who have used ListenNJ are absolutely thrilled with it. Some have complained about the fact that they could not find a certain title, but all enjoyed the access and availablilty of items.

Thing # 19 Podcast

I used Podcast looking for Christmas music to add some holiday cheer to my day. I enjoyed the variety of podcasts I found and was able to find some of my favorite holiday tunes. Podcast was easy to access although my computer is older so it was slower than expected.

Thing #18 ..Delicious!

I really enjoyed the searching the tags in delicious. The tags are like having another brain to assist one in searching and exploring; and developing bookmarks that may not have come to mind initially. It is like having a whole team assist you!

Thing # 17 Tagging

I checked out tagging on LibraryThing and found the tags to be a great way to organize. I personally will use tagging wherever I can as I feel it is useful to keep all my thoughts, ideas, etc etc at my fingertips. Anything to bring more organization to my life I welcome!

Thing # 16 Wikki 2

This is a great source. It would be a wonderful way to organize any party or reunion where friends are coming from all over. I will be planning a few baby showers next year so this would also be a great way to get everyone organized.

Thing # 15 Wikis part 1

Although Wikki may be applicable for many, I would not use it. Anyone can update information, and I question the validity of the information. I can see it as a tool for sharing however.
