Thing #23

I found that many parts of this challange interesting some of which I would use
again. A few parts I don't think I would use, silnce I don't have a home computer
and time to use the computer at work it limited. It was interesting to learn all the different tools available such as downloading a picture and a book. It also
made available a link to subjects that are of interest to me such as quilting,knitting,cooking and gardening. I didn't learn many different websites
of which I was not aware of before this challange.

Thing #22

I searched for books by Janet Evanovich and looked for one that was available.I choose Motor Mouth.Checked to cart and proceeded to check out.Logged in library card
number. confirmed check out and then checked download because overdrive was already
installed on computer.I found there were 5 parts chich took nearly one hour to download. I don't usually listen to books on audio but think it is a useful thing
to know how to do should I choose to use it sometime.

powered by ODEO

I had quite a problem getting into odeo I had searched for quilting but could not
access that subject. I then searched movies and accessed Sweeney Todd which I have seen the movie. I thing I would listen to Ipod again searching different subjects.

Thing #20



I looked for an ivory soap commerical from 1965 which I remembered from when I
was younger. Since it was quite some time ago it brought back old memories.The commericals today are quite different. We also looked at the videos on YouTube
on which you can view programs and shows this is useful to see things going on
in other libraries.

Thing #19

I looked at Zillow the real estate website and looked up my address, the photo showed the house and driveway with our two cars. I found this to be very funny.

Thing #18

It think that it is great having this available for free rather that having to pay
hundreds of dollars.

Thing #17

I played in the sandbox and listed my favorite ice cream which is chocolate marshmallow. It would be helpful to have a shelvers manuel to co-ordinate input from other people as to the proper way to handle this job.

Thing #16

I think the library site would be very helpful to a librarian but not to me personally. When planning a trip or family event it would be very helpful. Being able to co-ordinating a list of information between the people involved. I did find Wikipedia interesting.

Thing #15

As a shelver this would not be of any use in my job. As a patron it is
helpful because you can tag the books of interest to me making them easier to find. Bookmarking is also very useful to me.

Thing #14

We looked up 2.0 and looked up the popular blogs and found nothing
of interest to me, we then looked up knitting and found that the most popular blog was one that I subscribed to in feeders.I think I might go back and use it again.

Thing #13

I found the del.icio.us website to be very interesting and can be
very useful in finding subjects of interest. I think the idea that it is
accessable from any computer very helpful

Thing #12

Net Library This could be very useful to someone who has a computer

at home and can take the time to sit and read from the computer. I perfer

to reading the hard copy of a book.

World Cat. We looked up the Wonderful Tar Baby 1953 addition which
was my nephews favorite story which I read to him many times. Ocean
County Library does not own a copy but the Library of Congress and the
British Library do have copies.

Thing #11

Library thing was very easy to use. It is a great way to keep track of the
books I have already read and those I want to read. I add a series by
Fern Michaels that is on my list to read.

Thing #10

I am not that great with some types of technology. This has been quite
an experience to say the least. I have discovered that I don't know
as much as I thought I did.

Thing #9

Topix I found this site easy to use. I searched the local news from the
town where I use to live.

Syndic 8 This was an easy site to use but I don't know if I would use
it again.

Technorati This was fairly easy to access. I found it very interesting and
informative about the craft of tatting. I think I would use this again.

Thing #8

I found setting this up fairly easy. I subscribed to knitting, crochet,
cooking, sewing and all general crafts.It was suprising to find a sight
for free which has access to many people with a common interest. It is
a good place to get news and information without going to a news stand
or having to buy books of patterns.It makes a lot of information
concerning a patrons interests available.
