Week 2 : Online Community

I chose Facebook. I have family and friends using facebook so thought I would stay with one everyone uses. I do like to keep in touch with people and reading their posts although I don't really post much. I would like to more in future but where is the time?

I did go in and change some of my privacy issues. It is hard to know how much information you want to be out in the world.

Recently I had a family member pass away rather than keep calling to find out obituary information. I got on their facebook page and they had posted all the information I needed to know. I also am very nosey so like to keep track of friends and what is happening in their lives.

I signed up to be a friend of the state library. I had a son killed by a drunk driver so have signed up with Mothers Against Drunk Drivers and also Compassionate Friends as a group member. Already was a member of 23 Things Kansas

I believe the library could use facebook as a good source to inform people in our community of what is happening. It seems to be the most popular right now.

Week 1: blogging

Hi my name is Romona Newsome. I work for the Great Bend Public Library and have been here for 19 years. I started as a circulation clerk, then assistant to Marilyn Malbrough, circulation Department Head, moved to Reference for about a year, and now have been Technical Services Department Head for 9 years. I am not very computer literate so need all the help I can get. I want to be able to help patrons with all the new technology.
I was a little afraid to tackle this assignment but with Cara Negaard helping we are on our way...
