But Maurice just came to tell me to fill in my paper log with each individual blog address. That took a few minutes, but it's done.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6681670131998377099.post-7397635558237032812007-10-05T10:49:00.001-07:002007-10-05T10:56:27.389-07:00ConclusionWow. Some days I thought I'd never get here. Yeah!!<br /><br />I'm very glad I persevered. I've learned a lot; but I know all this is only a drop in a very large possibilities bucket. It was good to have my arm twisted a little and to be given an incentive to complete this project. <br /><br />I think this process could have been made a little simpler. There were some things that didn't apply, and some that were outdated. There was a lot of extraneous data that could be simplified.<br /><br />I'm glad I learned about all the possibilities. No favorites. And yes, I would gladly do it again. I look forward to the technology of tomorrow.<br /><br />Thanks to my supervisors for their encouragement and help and for the time to work on this. I can't wait to tell others about some of the potential tools on the web that I would have ignored had this educational experience not been offered.<br /><br />Thanks to management for having their eyes on the future. Don't fear change.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6681670131998377099.post-13706316718378008502007-10-05T10:43:00.000-07:002007-10-05T10:46:36.639-07:00AudiobooksI watched all 16 Overdrive tutorials.<br /><br />I tried to access Netlibrary through the HCPL home page/online resources and could not find it. I thought we had Netlibrary. No more?<br /><br />I played around with the Gutenburg Project. What a wonderful idea! However, these are printed books only, as far as I can tell. No audio feeds.<br /><br />Downloadable audio books are a wonderful idea and I will follow up more on this. I've gotten too many books on CD out where the discs are damaged. It makes listening a frustrating and haphazard experience. E-audiobooks are the way to go. No scratches.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6681670131998377099.post-16823189299824622252007-10-05T09:56:00.001-07:002007-10-05T09:59:21.068-07:00PodcastsWell I fumbled my way through the podcasting lesson. I added three podcasts to my podcastalley account and added the RSS feeds to my bloglines aggregator. This seemed much harded than it had to be. There's a lot to choose from; a lot of what appears to be really weird stuff. I'd still like to just get an easy listening music channel like 101.9 that I could listen to while I work. When I searched for easy listening, I got all kinds of weird hits.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6681670131998377099.post-59935393007506205662007-10-05T09:15:00.000-07:002007-10-05T09:16:23.500-07:00PodcastsStill no e-mail confirmation from podcastalley.com.

They are not necessarily reliable. <strong>Anyone</strong> can add, edit, or delete content. Wikis are open to manipulation. Use wikis, but use them warily. They may serve a purpose in my life by being a collaborative development tool in a committee report. I look forward to trying this technique when the time comes.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6681670131998377099.post-81642991863665022652007-10-03T13:33:00.000-07:002007-10-03T13:36:44.150-07:00#15 Web 2.0 and Library 2.0Great Video!! Read the "Icebergs" entry. The "Just In Case" collection is or may be obselete. Wasted funds on printed materials that are available on the web. <br /><br />Also read the "Library Experience of the Future" section. Libraries are not "collections"; they are convocations of people, ideas, and materials in dynamic exchange. Libraries are not <strong>in</strong> communities; they <strong>are</strong> communities.<br /><br />Library personnnel must be educated in these possibilities of the future to educate the public.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6681670131998377099.post-33358013290793622442007-10-03T13:09:00.000-07:002007-10-03T13:11:16.608-07:00TechnoratiI cannot view the Technorati video.
