Thing 18 - Google Docs

I used Google Docs this past week to make fliers. It was great! I like using Google Doc. I think our branch's Safety Committee could benefit from using Google Docs.

Things 16 & 17 - Wiki not so icky

I think wikis are a great way to keep everyone on the same page. Especially if they work at different locations or have varied schedules. I was first introduced to wikis last year as a member of the virtual branch committee. I thought it worked great and is a tool that could be used by more committees.

The like the idea of the Library Success wiki, but I think one might have to spend time sifting through irrelevant info to find something of use.

Thing 11 - LibraryThing

I like LibraryThing. Some of my books were popular. It was interesting to read what other people thought about my favorites.

Thing 14 - Technorati

I wasn't too inpressed with technorati. I did't see anything that I would want to go back to. I'll do a few more searches and see if anything strikes me.

Thing 13 - del.icio.us

I think del.licio.us is interesting. At first I thought, "why do I need it?" I can just add the sites I want to my favorites. Then I thought about my favorite list on my computer at home. It's huge and a mess. And I can only access it at home. I think del.icio.us might become one of my favorite tools.

Thing 12 - NetLibrary & WorldCat

I thought NetLibrary was easy to use. I found a book on knitting. Now I know where to go when I have a problem reading a pattern. I am confident that I could show a patron around NetLibrary.

I really liked WorldCat. I search a book that I had read a long time ago and found it. I couldn't remember the author, but I wanted to read more books from that author. I had tried searching for it on amazon once, but couldn't find.

THING 6 - The Garden at Manchester

This is the veiw I have while I am eating my lunch. I find it relaxing to watch the birds (and the squirrel) at the feeders. When the weather gets warmer, you will see me sitting at the picnic table. Kudos to everyone who help maintain this garden.

I tried to add this picture to my post using flickr, but that didn't work. So I used the photo that was downloaded to my computer. I used snipshot website to edit the photo. I have been using snipshot to edit photos for the online calendar and I have become comfortable using it.
