Library 2.0

Library 2.0 – it's many things to many people. What does it mean to you? - that is my assignment - blog about library 2.0....

As a library assistant I'm excited about the changes in the Internet and library 2.0, but putting them into play in my everyday job is a different subject - I have a hard enough time getting some people to fill out an online library card application - I have seen people get frustrated when filling out form for EDD and job applications - not all people are willing to embrace all that the Internet has to offer. I have not had the opportunity to teach anyone here in the library anything about library 2.0 - It just doesn't come up very often.

I also feel like there are so many website out there that do the same thing - I'm a member of goodreads which is similar to library thing so I have no use for library thing - all my lists are already in one place.

License plate watching!

So last night on my way home I was taking a look at cars going by and seeing if the three letter combination on their license plates were also SPL branch codes - yes I know - I do have a life, I had placed my car stereo faceplate in the back of the car and then wasn't going to stop and get it, I just wanted to get home. So for those of you still reading my post and curious as to what I found...NNT, ARC and MCC!!

I don't get out much....

These are states I have visited - I included Tenneesee - but I was there when I was four and I don't remember much about it except the thunderstorms - I also included Florida but I was only passing through there on my way to a cruise ship.....

I don't get out much...

A twittering I will go!

So I signed up for twitter and after about 8 hours of doing it and thinking "Why am I doing this??" I ended up totally hooked! I also discovered that I can text to not only twitter but to facebook as well. Signing up for texting has also had an unexpected benefit! My older son who is in college texts all the time but I hardly ever speak to him on the phone - I have now heard from him more in the last week through texting than I have in the past month on the phone! So I went from signing up for 200 texts, to upgrading that in three days so I have 1500 a month now and I update my facebook page more often and I won't be bored while sitting on one place ever again!!

Rollyo?

Maybe I'm missing the point on this one.... I don't get Rollyo - I consider myself pretty internet savvy - but I'm not getting it...

Library Thing...

I was not impressed with library thing for some reason - to each her own I guess - I use Goodreads and I am happy with that - I find no reason to have two sites that basically do the same thing for me.

A running wordle!
