23 Things... A summary of my thoughts

It has taken me almost a year to complete 23 things.   I wish I could have done it continuously without stopping to do other work or to work on the public service desk.   The different activites were a lot of fun, especially working with an online image generator and searching youtube.   This program taught me about many new technological advances and how to use them.   This is the future of libraries and it helped me become more familiar with wikis, blogs, podcasts, word processing, tagging and RSS feeds. Setting up a blog was fun and it allowed me to be creative.  I wish my hard drive did  not crash, since I lost a lot of the work I did over the last 9 months.   I really liked the avitar that I created.

Downloadable audiobooks

Downloading audiobooks seems so simple on this tutorial.    I wish we had a similar tutorial for our customers on downloading audios from our catalog.    I have never tried downloading an audiobook but I receive many questions about it from customers.   Sometimes if a book is in heavy demand, the quickest way to read a copy is to download it.

Discover You Tube

You tube is great for finding music and watching videos.   I love the video about Lady Gaga and the Library.
