Week 9 No 22 Net Library

Give me the real thing anytime. I found it a bit limiting in the fiction area and more geared towards business and technology. I did like the amount of study guides it had on fiction which would be good for teens as these can be hard to come by in print form.

Week 9 No 21 Search Tools

I found this hard at first but got the hang of it in the end. I got my Library Podcast from

Google as yahoo did not have any with rss. Atlantic City Free Library podcast site is very well set out no hidden menus like Zoo writer. It is very user friendly

Week 9 No 23 My Thoughts

It has been a big tech learning curve, I have learnt heaps as you can tell by my username being newbe2this. One of the main things I enjoyed learning was how to down load images as we get asked how to do this all the time by patrons. It has given me more confidence in dealing with patrons computer problems. I am a little sad that it is coming to an end as I have really enjoyed it I will keep up with myspace and flickr.

No 20 You Tube

I love You Tube it is very user friendly This Clip is from a show that was on TV 2 called Balls of Steel where comedians would go show they had nerves of steel by playing pranks on the British public a bit like smile your on camera. We have one on one computer classes at my library what we call infoskills and little video clips on how to use the web site or catalogue or set up email would be great.

Week 8 no19 web 2 awards

I went into 3 of them on the short list

Flickr which came 1st in the Photos & Digital images category which I think is very deserving as I love it & could spend hrs looking at peoples favorite photo's. It is very user friendly

PeerTrainer came 1st in the Health Category which is mainly for people who want to find a health group to join or start one, but I liked Medstory better as that looks at all aspects of Health. You just have to type in a health problem and it tells you the symptoms to the medical treatment you can get to what to do to avoid getting it.

I did enjoy looking at some of the names of the health groups in PeerTrainer I clicked on S and there are groups from slim for Life to strong - minds and bodies, but the most interesting was Serene Succulent Sixties something to look forward to in my old age

Week 8 no18 Zoho Writer

I had a look at zoho writer I like the way there are no hidden menus every thing is there, and I loved the way when you have finished your doc you can email it straight out to who you have to without having to send it to your email or having to save it to a disk.

Google docs
I can see why students or anyone studing would like this as being able to look or work on the same assignment without having to be in the same place would be a great time saver because when it comes to students time is something they do not have alot of.

Week 7 No 17 sandbox favourite bog

I Added my blog to the favorite blogs page. It was interesting going into peoples blogs that were listed. I had tried to do this exercise last week before the password was up so found it a bit frustrating at first, once it was up it was as easy as 123.

It would be great if our Lib web site had something like this that the patron's could use.
