I made it to <span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>10</strong>. I downloaded an e-audio book at the Reader Services desk (I don't have a pc at home), and it was fairly straigthforward. I downloaded from the North Suburban Digital Consortium and I found it much easier than using Netlibrary (which I had done previously). This process may become mainstream when they get the process more friendly to the end-user, but there is a ways to go. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">See you on Staff Day!</span>Pat's Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06044123035809644788noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3618114350295982431.post-76393259307805979102007-11-30T15:23:00.000-08:002007-11-30T15:25:24.617-08:00Google Tools - Online ProductivityI created a document in Google and it was really simple, just like Word.

I have used Wikipedia but I don't take it as gospel. I'm not sure that "radical trust" has a place on a library webpage, just that small percentage of a chance that someone might put out some "misinformation" (accidentally or intentionally) make me nervous. The library webpage has the feel of an authoritative voice and people look to the library's webpage for answers. I was looking up a location in Ireland on Wikipedia once and someone had replaced words in the article with male and female anatomical parts and other inappropriate words. Since I didn't know what to replace the inappropriate words with I emailed Wikipedia and they corrected it fairly quickly and sent me a thank you.Pat's Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06044123035809644788noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3618114350295982431.post-39828285162169469102007-11-29T17:32:00.000-08:002007-11-29T17:56:34.128-08:00PodcastingI listened to some podcasts today and it was fun. I didn't get the hang of volume control though and hurt my eardrums a bit. I subscribed to <em>Booktalks -- Quick and Easy</em> and the Denver Public Library children's books podcasts. The <em>Booktalks</em> podcast is a synopsis of books, and the Denver PL podcasts reads a children's book. Listening to a children's book was fun and it would be nice if Skokie could do that. I also subscribed to a few NPR podcasts so now I can keep up with my favorite radio programs.Pat's Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06044123035809644788noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3618114350295982431.post-23178556147463852612007-11-23T12:12:00.000-08:002007-11-23T12:19:56.866-08:00Social BookmarkingI went to del.icio.us and posted a site and it was easy. I don't think I'd use it much as an individual, but posting as an organization like a library could be interesting. Good library tags could be: public records; consumers; hard to find books; buy books; catatlogs . . .Pat's Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06044123035809644788noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3618114350295982431.post-35382466010417689582007-11-16T11:23:00.000-08:002007-11-16T11:31:16.931-08:00Flick r and Photo SharingI went with Pam Weinberg on a "Words" weekend in New York State, and it was a fun and beautiful weekend. I went to this weekend armed with a digital camera lent to me from the library and take a look at the picture on the top right of this blog! I can hardly believe that is me rubbing elbows with Will <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Shortz</span>, Ira Glass, and Bob <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Mankoff</span>. You can also find pictures of our weekend on Flick r. I can definitely see the usefulness of Flick r and photo sharing.Pat's Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06044123035809644788noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3618114350295982431.post-52265087056002558712007-11-01T13:55:00.000-07:002007-11-01T14:00:20.751-07:00Social NetworkingWell, I joined Eons (yep, I'm over fifty). I found the perfect group to join, the "Don't Join this Group.....Group." This is a group for people that don't like joining groups and there is no membership requirements. Just ignore the group and they are happy. Perfect! Hmm, I guess I'm on my way to curmudgeon-hood.Pat's Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06044123035809644788noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3618114350295982431.post-70884449754144750932007-10-06T09:29:00.001-07:002007-10-06T09:31:00.297-07:00Instant MessaginigI think I have the hang of instant messaging.

At first I signed up for some News, Food stuff, Celebrities, Books . . . all sort of things. Then when I went back to look at it all I was overwhelmed and went crazy again "unsubscribing." I guess it was messier than I thought it should be. I am very particular about my e-mail accounts, I keep the inbox empty and the emails I keep go into folders (nicely labeled of course). Now that I'm down to a few rss feeds I'll let you all know how I feel about it after a few days.Pat's Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06044123035809644788noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3618114350295982431.post-7558120610352163552007-10-01T08:24:00.000-07:002007-10-01T08:29:59.525-07:00Here It IsI made a blog, whew!
