I don't own an mp3 or an ipod or whatever. Here's my problem with audio books: I can't get past a man trying to speak like a woman. It just does not work for me. However, I looked at Maryland's e-libray and what I really found that I would like to download are videos. There are some great foreign films listed. I had no idea!<br /><br />This was a good exercise for me, because I have a much better understanding of downloading books and will be more comfortable in the future discussing it with patrons. Some day I may even venture to download one on my home computer.<br /><br />MEMERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16252571743040417882noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-524562151839000468.post-27411886163108461012007-08-14T13:16:00.000-07:002007-08-14T14:41:26.149-07:00PodcastsWeek 9 Thing 21<br /><br />I liked what some of the libraries were doing....<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">podcasting</span> book talks and library news.

I think wikis would be very useful in the workplace for sharing "best practices", program info, innovative ideas, etc. I like the idea of Princeton's Book Lovers Wiki and think it would be a great place for patrons to share their reading likes and dislikes. I also think the library should consider changing the Community Information (MdShare) into a wiki where community organizations, associations, civic groups, etc. could add and update their organizations info.<br /><br />MEMERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16252571743040417882noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-524562151839000468.post-76973953052598011082007-07-26T13:33:00.000-07:002007-07-26T13:48:18.535-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-L3K556z_yTOdM0txowHBrnHk4oJBVTCatV_1H0iPWiwHNt2LZbDGk0hr699yu4qA3-8iDBrQk6SXwujQuGvUrW2n1gH_XUtUyUe8alHf-mdPBozRkafn9jUuhXh2F1ro-v4FdxHtdXg/s1600-h/untitled.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5091606609115352898" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-L3K556z_yTOdM0txowHBrnHk4oJBVTCatV_1H0iPWiwHNt2LZbDGk0hr699yu4qA3-8iDBrQk6SXwujQuGvUrW2n1gH_XUtUyUe8alHf-mdPBozRkafn9jUuhXh2F1ro-v4FdxHtdXg/s320/untitled.bmp" border="0" /></a> This is ironic since I just posted about the need for libraries to change...but I hope we never lose the beauty, feel and comfort of a good book!<br /><br />MEMERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16252571743040417882noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-524562151839000468.post-14648095052855777512007-07-26T11:05:00.000-07:002007-07-26T11:32:46.745-07:00Web 2.0, Library 2.0 & the FutureWeek 6 Thing 15<br />I found all of these articles very interesting because I have felt and continue to feel that the library must make major changes in order to be relevant in the future. As Rick Anderson wrote in his article, <em>Away from the Icebergs, </em> libraries <strong>do not</strong> have a monopoly on information anymore. In order to survive libraries must become the one stop shopping place for access to info...I loved John Reimer's <em>To Better Bibliographic Services. </em> He calls for a "comprehensive menu of choices in a single place." Looking for info? Let the patron access book buying services, access information/books from<strong> all</strong> libraries (public, educational institutions, etc) as simple as entering a search term and pressing a button, have RSS services pushing info patrons want directly to them. If the library does not make information available, easy to access and interactive...patrons are going to go someplace else.<br /><br />I think Library 2.0 means nothing less than our survival.<br /><br />MEMERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16252571743040417882noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-524562151839000468.post-31301333661181581632007-07-25T15:39:00.001-07:002007-07-25T15:56:14.351-07:00TechnoratiWeek 6 Thing14<br />Per Learning 2.0 Technorati is "the leading search tool and authority for blogs." I found it confusing, unhelpful, way more info than I want or need. Some of the popular sites were of questionable taste. I did find an interesting political blog but on the whole there are easier ways to find poltical blogs. Frankly...I don't care about all these people and their endless blogs about everything and anything. I am on INFORMATION OVERLOAD!

However, once I sat down and really looked at it...I found some very helpful information.<br />As a reference librarian I am asked a lot about Maryland divorce law...Del.icio.us provided some excellent sites I was unfamiliar with and which would be very useful. I can see using Del.icio.us to organize and make available very quickly these sites and others on a wide range of topics. These could be accessed by librarians and patrons. On a personnal note...it popped up some wonderful vintage fabric sites I have never seen!<br /><br />MEMERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16252571743040417882noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-524562151839000468.post-18573249672327585722007-06-30T07:27:00.001-07:002007-06-30T07:28:44.014-07:00The REAL Sparky!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNrOKNHU7eYgsRCrrWvNeIPwy6DgpL9qGwRuGDIMTGnULYn6gM0CozBq4qY7ai1u9i4_2FFhIMu8DpYcbcbSXsGmn8mdwRTmIC2XYU6MlhoLghvaWhE8RxmTRNrxysnJ5WTH-0D_bD4ws/s1600-h/Sparky1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5081864208759942146" style="FLOAT: right;

It was easy to use however. You can narrow <em>Technorati</em> down to some pretty specific subjects which I like - though it is only blogs and I really prefer news feeders. The amount of information and choices are just overwhelming. I also like<em> Topix</em> a lot. I can get the latest news from my hometown. Didn't like <em>Syndic8</em> at all - very confusing.<br /><br />MEMERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16252571743040417882noreply@blogger.com0
