THING #23

Wow! I made it!

To answer your questions...a few of my favorite discoveries were Delicious, Google Docs and, of course, Blogging:).

This program gave me the kick in the butt(excuse my french) I needed to pursue more knowledge, and opened my eyes to how much I haven't learned!

This program covered a wider variety of topics than I expected so I definitely appreciated the clear instructions for each Thing.

My personal learning style is downright lazy. I work hardest when someone is making me:)! I would have liked a few 'check-in' Things, (more like instant messaging) or feedback on how I am doing.

YES! I would love to participate in another discovery program. Just let me know when and how.

this is Naomi over and out.

Thing #22

podcasts:

I thought this was a little overwhelming at first, probably becaause I had never discovered podcasts before. I had no problem subscibing to a RSS feed. Podcasts are easy to find and enjoy depending on the subject. I stumbled upon a few about the twilight series. Podcasts is another avenue to explore for learning and reading. I think it will be very useful.

Thing # 21

It was kind of weird to find a friend of mine on Youtube. I guess everyone really is using it. I'm not sure how it will benefit our library but it is sure alot of fun.

Thing #20

I chose to learn about a social news site. www.reddit.com

Anyone can post a news item, story or pictures that they find interesting. I found Reddit a great place to join discussions about Guantanamo Bay, War, the economy and other current subjects. It's not serious, I read an article about an old Korean legend that had me in stitches. Reddit is also a great place to find out what topics others are dicussing. I can use this to learn about the world and just for conversation. If you want to know more about the world plus adding your two cents worth check out Reddit.

Thing #19

I typed up a quick document and then fooled around with it to see what all I could do. Besides emailing and the usual, I can download and print from another computer without that silly encryption problem. This will come in handy at the library and at home.

Thing #18

I think I like the "just play" Thing. This whole PBwiki idea is like a blank canvas to me. I am someone with lots of opinions and free advice. Now that I can share those opinions with others in wikis on all subjects maybe my boss will stop threatening to fire me:) (Just kidding Nichole)
The only problem I had setting it up was remembering my email password to confirm my new PBwiki account.

Thing #17

It is a good idea to use wiki for book reviews and debates.

I wonder if a library could use it as a survey tool. Or to gain interest in new titles or possible programs.

Madison NE will be hosting a Book Banquet in March. A wiki might be just the thing to set it up right.

Thing #16

whew! What a relief.

I have a tendency to think the library needs all information in book form. Thank goodness the library doesn't even need to have all the information. We can borrow from someone else! (haha) I like the idea of webbing the library. Offering computer access to the public was a big step for MPL a few years ago. I'm glad our director and board were thinking ahead; simply realizing that it is way past time for this library to utilize technology.

I read "Away from Iceburgs" and "To better bibliographic services". I agree with many of the points, but I feel we(libraries) shouldn't sacrifice the face-to-face connection though it is becoming much easier to do everything online. If our Patrons find information, technology, entertainment and community at the Madison Public Library then I have done my job!

Thing #15

i have slidespace! here it is... http://www.slideshare.net/naomimpl

This was a little more complicated to set up but still doable. If doable is a word:)

I liked this slideshow. note:read fast or pause

Thing#14

woohoo! I set up a Delicious account. I am gonna use it for my news and weather sites. This will be perfect!!

As far as Nebraska Access tags...the links on the site(magazine, biography, fiction connection) would make great tags along with books community NEinfo library NLC.

I couldn't find any other tags for Ne Access. Not sure what my problem is but I went ahead and used the ones that make sense to me.

Thank you, NELearns2.0, for opening my eyes to an easy way to remember the websites I want.
