Thing#16 Student 2.0 tools

I really like the U of M site. There were really great links to help with terminology and organizing your research. This is a great idea!

Thing#15 Games

I really do not care for games. I do not find them relaxing. I find them confusing and purposeless.

Thing#14LibraryThing

This would be great but for a librarian who doesn't have much time to read and is too frugle to purchase books I'm not sure. I did like looking at the reviews about the books I entered. I couldn't figure out how to add the LibraryThing link.

23Things#13

I decided not to try a new dashboard or the calendar stuff. I really think I will use the productivity tool, Ta-da, as I really like to make lists!

23Things#12

Digg - I am not sure how to digest so much information. I still prefer to find information at a major news source and then decide if I want to go deeper. I decided not to register. I am feeling overwhelmed with all of this informtion.

23Things#11

I could use this to find professional reading and then access it when I am at a different computer than my one atwork. It is also a discovery tool to look at what other people have tagged.

23Things#10

We have found using a wiki a helpful way to collaborate on reference questions.

This is our post for Thing 9 We did it as a shared document and posted it to our blog.

Thing#9.

We shared it with a colleague. We will post the finished product on our blogs.

I think I will add something visual:)

We are actually editing it at the same time. I want to see how Google handles drafts.

Sharepoint does something similar. But in a much more convoluted manner.

Maybe something sunny would be more appropriate? (NRF) True What do you think?

I think this is really awesome. Almost too good to be true. Does it make it available for all the world to Google. This would be great for our public terminals that do not have word on them. I could also see it as a boon for conferences where you have to collaborate on a document - say for a committee meeting later that day - and you only have access to public terminals. YEA (It would work great for us to collaborate on instruction, or whatever, too.)

(LOR)

We use Zoho for another project and I did not know there was a document piece. I will explore that at a later date.

Linda

I don't know. (LOR) I was not familiar with either Google.docs or zoho

23Things#8

I realized that I don't have any photos or presentations that anyone else would be interested in. Maybe I am wrong. What do you think? Is all of this social networking really self-promotion? Celebrity of the Mundane? Who really cares about what I care about?

23Things#7

I have gained a lot of information using the web conferencing tools of MINITEX, and EBSCO. It is a great way to participate in a workshop without leaving the building. I agree that one of the downfalls is being distracted at your own desk. This has possible implications for library instruction or tutorials in multiple locations.

23Things#7

I don't have the text messaging option on my phone, so that elimates me from this technology. I realize that in order to communicate with my own teenages this is the perferred method. I am very unsure about this as a reference tool but I would like to try the IM'ing.

Thing#6
This is too big! I need to find a way to look smaller. The Carleton librarians did a great job!

23Things#5

Jessica guided me through these steps to create a puzzle. I guess I see more personal applications as this point but I also see that library posters could be a great application. As someone else posted I am unhappy about the many logins and passwords.

23Things#4

Thanks to Dora is was really easy to load the photos into Flickr. I can see how this will be a great way to share photos with family and friends and also how to use this in library instruction.

23Things#3

I can see that RSS feeds could be very useful in collecting information I want to see frequently. I am very clumsy setting things up. I decided to use Bloglines.com. I am surprised how condensed the titles are on the screen. I am looking forward to using this when I locate other Blogs I would like to scan.

23Things#3

I am unsure which RSS to use. Is one easier to load and have features that are client friendly?

23Things#2

Using social-networking sites to discover how our patrons view the library will be a great tool in accessing our value. (maybe)

23Things#2

I found it very thought provoking to consider making our library more client friendly. I am excited about the oppportunity to practice the new Lib2.0 technologies and to collaborate with my colleagues on how to use them here.

This is great fun!
