10 Image Generators

This was fun to do after I found some things that worked without having to subscribe. ( no passwords to remember)

I like that you can play with your own photos. I think I'll use this stuff again and play around with some photos.

8 RSS FEEDS

This was very hard to do. The hard part was trying to put the feeds on my Blog but I eventually managed it with the help of a co-worker. I guess this is good for people who go through a lot of websites and only want the updates but I dont see myself using it.

Future of libraries

I've read a few perspectives on web 2.0, Library 2.0 and the future of Libraries and my thoughts are that computers are taking over and we need to be ready for changes to libraries.I think that having self serve computers for Patrons to borrow is a great idea as its quicker for them [No waiting].But you cant rely on computers 100% as sometimes they play up.Then thats when you need us staff who you can rely on.Some of our patrons come into the library for some company and a little chat but with computers taking over it makes it harder to give 100% customer service.So I think there is good and bad things about were we are heading.

Week 9 You Tube

I have looked at You Tube and I like this site. Libraries could use this to promote programs but I dont know if anyone would be interested in looking at it. Maybe they could put comedians or music up on their websites instead. Of course there is the problem of copyright so Im not sure about this.

I was going to put this video up by embeding it but it wouldnt allow me so I have posted a link to it instead. As you can see I love Cyndi Lauper so its a video of her.

Week 8 Zoho

I have tried zoho and it is good for people that need to transfer a lot of documents around. It saves on having to remember to take them and compatibility issues so its a great idea. I have tried to transfer a document on here but for some reason its not working. I will try again later.
