There is a lot to do on this site. This is a good site to tell patrons about if they they are looking for e-cards or just something fun to do. It was fun to play with the monopoly cards. It definitely a site that should be stored in the brain for patrons to know about.

OverDrive Didn't Drive Over Me!

This was a much needed training for me. I have had many patrons ask about OverDrive. To actually do it, was very helpful. It is very simple and clear for me to understand. I did have to go through a few topics before I found something, but that was in the nonfiction. I had no problem in the fiction finding what I wanted. I was suprised at how fast it was from when I found it, to when I was listening to the book. This is definitely a site I have to do more browsing in. I want to become as comfortable with it as with our Traditional Catalog.

Del.icio.us Yummy!!

I must confess, I sort of put off this looking into this site. There was a lot of information to go through, and I honestly thought I wouldn't like it. Wow! I don't no if it is very good for my diet, but I can't wait to spend more time in it. I can really see it working for our library for certain school projects that the kids have or maybe just research in general. The tags are great! They can definity help with organization and we could find the different sites faster. I throughly enjoyed it!

Wiki Wow!

I thought it was interesting just how easy it is to create a wiki and how much information that you can have on each wiki. It's wonderful that it can be changed by someone else, so if you are going to a meeting or planning an event, it can be done by a team effort at different locations. Certain applications such as planning a meeting or a wiki for events that will benefit the community would be great and if all the staff were involved it might be fun!

YouTube, Hulu and Fancast

That was fun! There is so much information in the way of entertainment. Also for learning, I found a video on flower arranging that was pretty cool! I'm not sure I would use the sites for information for a patron. But I would definitely, mention the sites to them. The sites are suppose to be watched and when you are giving info it a patron you only have so much time to help them. I think that it would be good to have for the library. It is a huge resource of information on the media, which is very popular.
