Week 5 : RSS and Feed Readers

Week 5 was a challenge for me. I picked google reader because I don't like to get a lot of accounts with different sign ups and passwords.
I could not pick anything I was interested in. I finally subscribed to :
Cara's 23 things blog, Marilyn's 23 things blog, healthy recipes for better nutrition and weight loss, national and local weather.

Week 4 : Photo sharing

This was a very interesting lesson.
Marilyn and I went to Osborne workshop for Flickr and Facebook. Of course, computers weren't cooperating but we had fun and learned alot.
I made a Facebook page for GBPL, stole some photos from Marilyn and posted them. I chose Picasa instead of Flickr on Cara's recommendation.

Week 3 : Online Meetings

I am excited about online seminars as I don't get a lot of opportunity to travel for my job.

I chose an archive of Kansas tax forms webinar from WebJunction. It was presented by Andy Coultis and Carl York, Kansas Department of Revenue with Laura DeBaun as web monitor.

I thought the presentation was excessively long and in more detail than we as librarians needed. Although it was helpful as a tax preparer, lots of information given. I liked being able to stop & start as we could find time to watch.

I really see a future use for webinars. I think they will be greatly used in the future as we in Central Kansas have a hard time trying to attended seminars.
