Thing # 23

The last thing! Wow what a journey this has been. I have definitely learned a lot. And there will be some things that I will continue with and others I will let go. Librarything wasn't that interesting for me. I have the real books at home on my shelves, I don't need to create a virtual bookshelf as well. But I really liked RSS feeds - I have the one for USA Today, entertainment. It keeps me up to date on new titles (movies and books) and events and happenings that might effect our circulation. I have already used it to my coworkers saying 'have you heard about this?'

Thing # 22

MOLDI!

No it isn't a disease - just our way to downloadable audio books. This thing is easy for me, I am in charge of this wonderful resource! And I just downloaded the new console to my computer in anticipation of the new site that we will be offering (hopefully next week) iPod compatibility. The titles aren't the newest, but it is a start and we will see how it goes.

Things #15 and 16


Wikis.

There are a blue millions great reasons for libraries to get into Wikis. Having the interaction with customers over favorite books and titles. Getting suggestions and new ideas, it would be amazing.

And posting on CML's PBwiki made me really long for the summer when I added my favorite vacation place: South Haven. Is winter over yet?!
