Week 9 - Thing 14

Well, here is this week's thing.  I knew all about the private side of Flickr.  My husband & I already have an account to share family pictures with our realtives out East.  It's a great tool for feeling a little closer.  I have to admit I never really looked into the public aspect of Flickr though.  Not sure how useful it would be for the Library ...

Week 7, Things 11 & 12

I just finished this week's "thing".  I have been using Wikis for about a year now - my LLDP group used our Wiki almost daily and found it helpful.  One thing I didn't like about the Wiki was updating attachments.  It was complicated and time consuming.  The update feature to e-mail is great - I would never remember to check the Wiki otherwise.  The Murray Reference Support Group has a Wiki also.  There is a "Tips & Tricks" page that I know is going to get a lot of use!  Wikis are definitely a useful group tool.

Week 6, Thing 10

I can't say that I liked this "thing" very much.  I'm not sure that I would use podcasts for anything/any reason.  I did look at quite an interesting one done by the Reference Desk staff at Emory University.  However, the podcasts were all really old - maybe they got bored?  I finally settled on one about books.  Here is the url if you want to check it out: http://books.podcast.com/show/1095/NPR-Books-Podcast/

Week 6, Thing 9

Can we all sing along?  "C is for Cookie, that's good enough for me".  Ah, it brings back memories.  Well, C is for Cookie and C is for Christine and Christine works in a library so here is my video!

Week 5, Thing 8 cont'd

Yay!  I finished my Prezi.  It was an interesting process, if somewhat frustrating.  But once I was able to access videos in YouTube and recover from a possible virus scare (yikes!  Thanks, Mike!) it was pretty worthwhile.  I hope you enjoy.

Week 5, Thing 8

Well, this is frustrating.  I was all set to work on Prezi and I can't access any of the videos on YouTube.  I guess I will have to set this aside and work on it next week.  Back to searching for ILLs I guess ...
