Is this really the end? Or just the beginning

I am exhausted. I have to congratulate Moa!! Ooops!!! I almost broke my back, patting too hard. Facebook was No. 1 getting to meet people. Audiobooks another hit. I know there are some staff members and customers don't know about the playaway. I have mentioned it here at Baisley Park to the staff and they have never heard of the playaway. I know that it was a pilot program created for some libraries. Library Things was also interested in cataloging and building my own library. he Generator creating neon signs was also a learning experience. Overall I had a great time. To improve this program. I would suggest a staff meeting to inform others who had not participated in 2.0 2007 to learn the basics. I would participate in another discovery program.

Audiobooks



This is the best I have seen. No hassle with a hardcover. Just close your eyes. Listen and enjoy the readings. This playaway should be in all libraries. I informed customers and staff members about the playaway, they are borrowing the items from the libraries that has holdings. Praise The Lord.

Podcasts, Smodcasts

Tried to listen to it at work. No headphones, no speakers. It was interesting going thru the website.

I Tube, YouTube


I opened YouTube for Joel Osteen and retrieved the video download. He is my favorite Pastor. I had volunteered to work at Madison Square Gardens when he was here in NYC in September, 2007.

Discovering Web 2.0 tools

I found old students from Holy Childhood High to talk to and that's (coughing, eh. ehm!!!!) many, many years ago. I will really use this site on a daily basis.

Explore Facebook and Social Networking

I really had fun exploring facebook and seeing other staff members. I have completed my profile to communicate with others. Real Cool!!!

Wiki Me This

The young kids from my library uses Wikipedia on a daily basis to do their homework.
They copy and paste as much as they can. I asked them if their teachers know this. Their reply. "All the time."

On Library 2.0 & Web 2.0

I have read and understood the Library 2.0 service for the next generation. Of course libraries are on a new super, super highway. Both checking in and out materials for customers have changed. The Appearance of wooden furniture is upgraded to modern hanging fixtures with pictures/murals. Libraries are definitely getting much better as the years roll on.

Getting not-so technical with Technorati

I did the learning 2.0 in blog spots, in tags and in the blog directory. (1)Yes the results are different. (2) Nothing was surprising to me.

Tag! You're It!

Made an account, it was difficult. Still waiting for the e-mail from the site to open the URL. Nothing was sent to me. I do not give up easy, but at this moment 'time is of the essence'.

Roll your own search engine

This was a good experience. It will help me during my daily research with customers.

RSS

It was very interesting. I learned that you can read everything that has your interest in one place. You can also read the news from England.(COOL)

Technology


Living without a Blackberry Phone for a long time was very lonesome. I will keep up with the latest. GPS system in the car another hit. Luv It.!!!!

More flickr fun






I had fun. :)

It was very interesting seeing pictures of some lighthouses. I remember couple years ago I visited the Montauk lighthouse and learnt very interesting history on the Montauk point. Years ago when I was the Private Secretary to the Harbor Master in Jamaica. I visited all the lighthouses on the island. As high up as I went, I see far and clear. It took you to another level of life. Very fascinating.
