Thing 7 Web 2.0 Tools

Our library use e-mail for most communications we use it for booking room, setting up appointments, reminder notes, and of course e-mail. I think many of the Web 2.0 tools can be very useful as they will help keep patrons up-to-date with all the programs that are available. Some of the tools is also a way for patrons to ask reference staff questions .

I watched videos about was how many different topics that ELMs has, I also watch some how to on different types of search methods using Mintix and ways to set up Google search with tabs and can even set it as a home page with different search links.

Thing 6: Online Image Generator

I could see where using these tool would help in creating appeal to specific age groups of patrons. I think this would greatly help in bringing patrons back to the Library. I could even see me creating things for home use.

Thing 4 & 5: Working with Flicker

The Flicker has a lot of neet toys to play with. I thing the puzzle one would be fun to do with outdoor pictures. The clockR would be nice to have at home on your PC for running a screen saver I would be cool. I am not that comfortable of sharing photos on line unless it is secure as I would like to manage whos see my pictures as long as I can do that I would be ok with it.

Thing 2: Web 2.0

I do believe that using new technology will be the way that most information is going to be accessed. There are many reasons that I think this will happen. One of them is the convenience of searching for information with out leaving your office or home. The information you need is easier to search that going through a lot of books or manuals. I also think that as our society starts to move away from comuting to do research because of the added expense of commuting the online information is more appealing.

Thing 1: Creating a blog

I have just complete creating my blog and even have it registered. I hope that I do get some responses to some of my blogs.

Thing 4: Flicker

I will enjoy using flicker it will be handy to share photos with releatives and friends. It will be easy for those that I don't see very often but want to show them photos that they would live to view. I will be careful though as I don't want everyone to see all my pictures so I will probably password protect them or use some other type of security.

Thing 3: RSS Feed

I think the RSS feed will be a handy tool. I plan on using this to keep me informed on information that will help me keep upto date.
