Week 9 -YouTube
I tried to upload this video at home yesterday and couldn't do it. I set up an account with YouTube and added this video to my favorites. That's as far as I got. Marybeth helped me today by showing me how to edit the blog name. Once I did that it was easy to upload to my blog. Thanks, Marybeth.

Week 8 - Web 2.0 Awards
I went into the Web 2.0 awards and of course choose Books as the category I was interested in. I did look at bookmarking, health, video and travel. Lots of information here and certainly worthwhile coming back to. I think this is pretty neat and just being exposed to all of this is helpful. Some I like more than others and will use.
Lulu.com, biblio.com and librarything.com were the top 3 winnersin the book awards category. I really like librarything as I said before I will use this for my bookclubs. Biblio.com is useful for out of print books. Lulu didn't look as easy to use to me as librarything.

Week 8 - Online Productivity Tools
I choose Google docs to create my documents. I like the layout and was able to use my blogger email and password so I don't have to add another email and password to my list. I put my bookclub groups in a document that I can access from home on my PC . I like the idea of being able to have this information from any PC. I like the fact that I don't have to purchase Microsoft Office now and have the availabilty of word processing and spreadsheet on my PC. Will practice with the spreadsheet when I have more time.

Week 7 - Learning 2.0 Sandbox wiki
I went into the Sandbox wiki and added my name under FCPL list.
I think it did it right! It's cool that everyone is adding their blog to the list!

Week 7 - Wikis
I found reading about Wikis interesting. The one I liked and bookmarked on my home computer is Princeton Public Library's Booklovers Wiki. I am always interesred in reading book reviews and what other book lovers are reading. I especially like the index to the Review! I will use this site for sure!

Week 6 Library 2.0, Web 2.0
I found all of this very interesting and over my head. I like the "Check neaby Libraries" feature that was added to the online public access catalog in Santa Monica Public Library.
Check out tips and tricks OCLC.
I find all of this mind boggling but do look forward to the new technology of the future and the training that goes along with it. The reason I am doing "23 things" is to be exposed to some of the new technology.

I went into deli.cio.us and didn't sign up for it because right now I am signed up for more than I would ever use. I did look at it and don't think I'd use it.

Week 5 Rollyo
I went into Rollyo and created an account and set up some search rolls- cooking, reading, and news. I can see where this is a good way to organize your most popular sites.
Week 5 LIbrary Thing
I went into librarything.
This is a good tool to keep track of books read. I like the suggestion tab.

Week 4 Merlin
I explored Merlin and even signed up for an account! I looked at the library news blogs and went into Library Journal News. I wasn't aware that Merlin was available and such a good resource. Always learning something new!
