Stuck in Lodi…YouTube posting..

April 28, 2008 at 9:09 pm (Uncategorized) (, )

Well – couldn’t find a great “library” site I wanted to post about…so since I live in “Lodi” and many people think I am “stuck” here. Little do you know what a great place it is…thought I would leave you with this.

Pictures of Lucas

Well – I thought I would post some pictures of the other “child” in our home. Here is Lucas and Emily playing in the front yard. He is about 15 months, we “rescued” him on Emily’s 2nd birthday.

Picture sharing..

April 14, 2008 at 5:40 pm (Uncategorized)

I think the ability to share pictures is great. That way people can pick and choose what pictures they want and buy the sizes they like. I tend to use Kodak’s gallery – because I like the ability to send the prints to Target and pick them up there. I worry about privacy, but things seem to be fairly secure.

I am not sure how we might use this in our Library. Though it might be a great way to archive and share some of the things that are happening at our various locations.

Web Office Tools

I was really impressed with the capabilities of Google Docs. I think it could be very useful when working with groups of people who are located in different offices, or even different companies. It would cut down on the email and the confusion.

I also looked at Zoho and was impressed with how many different applications they offer. You could run a small business with all of their applications.

I can see how some of the workteams I am on could really collaborate with googledocs. Polices, procedures, committee documents – all of this would be easier then emailing everything back and forth. It also stores them – which means you don’t have to worry about accidently deleting the email, or in our case archiving it within so many days -so it doesn’t get dumped.

Social Bookmarking

April 1, 2008 at 6:17 pm (social bookmarking) ()

I find social bookmarking very useful, it makes it much eaiser to find websites again. I don’t like having a laundry list of “favorites”, and I don’t like being tied to one computer.

I could see setting up multiple accounts. A personal account, and a Library account, or even account that is for a specific class that you might be teaching.

I like seeing what other people bookmark – and how many other people have bookmarked it. It let’s you know if the site is used frequently…it doesn’t really mean it is reliable, but it does show that it has a visible spot on the web.
