#23 End of the road

Made it at last, and quite a journey thru the use of new web based tools and services. It seems like you could spend hours at your PC. I know for certain, it took more that 15 mins or one hour.

All in all a worth while learning experience. I have a new tech speak vocabulary. Also discovered some useful new internet service I might like to explore further. The Flickr photo management, Wikkis, Bookthing.

Glad to have reached the end of this program and would recommend to others. Only now I have more logins that store cards and not all the same. Finding a login which has not been used can take 15 mins and makes difficult to keep a single password for yourself that is easy to remember. I need a book of passwords and logins.

#22 Ebooks

I guess the main benefit of these ebooks is that they are available directly online. However, not easily accessible for visually impaired borrowers. Who pays for the service? Does it mean that you do away with Audio & audio CD format? How soon with this be the way of the future?

#18 Web-based Apps Zoho Writer.

Best thing about this application are the templates providing different formats for document styles. Also allows to create documents without having to carry around the address.

#17 Playing around with PBWiki

Not planning to graduate from Wiki school anytime soon. I loved the potential of this resource however I would need lots of practice and tutoring to use this effectively. Entering into the domain of the technologically challenged. But determined to rectify the situation

#16 Wikis

I thought wikis were a great way to share information and communicate with borrowers I particularly liked these two:

SJCPL Subject Guides – a pathfinder wiki developed by the St. Joseph County Public Library system

oBook Lovers Wiki - developed by the Princeton Public Library

I guess the only caution is about the reliability of information.
