Lulu

I looked at the award winning site for books, Lulu. It is set up with tabs, which makes it easy to locate something. Unfortunately, I would need a lot of time to become familiar with all the offerings. Like most sites with a lot of information (like the PBC library site), the more you use it, the easier it is to find something. There are still things I am discovering about the library web site. Maybe some day I'll have time to explore all those other interesting sites.

Zoho

Wow. Do you see the test document I published? I love the idea of writing documents online. My computer at home doesn't have word and I always have to use wordpad. Now I know I can use Zoho! This is going to save me a lot of problems trying to figure out which program to use to open a message. Thanks 23 things!

test

This is a new document writer I am trying out.  Can you read it?  Can you see the picture?  If you can, I did this right!

pbcls wiki

I checked out the library wiki. This was interesting. I added my favorite vacation place (did not bother with pictures, though) and added this blog as a favorite blog. This was a pretty easy experience.

wiki

Well, I looked at some Wiki sites recommended by 23 things. I can see the best use for these are with a group of people with similar interests. In the example a group of friends were planning a trip. This I can see as a great use for Wikis. I can even see this as a great resource for event planning, however, I have issues with sites edited by the public. Not that there are any guarantees. The general public may have more knowledge than an individual, but I see so many chances for error. As long as the sites are monitored for accuracy, I guess I can see the attraction.

library 2.0

After reading 5 articles suggested by the Web 2.0 workshop I thought I would post my feelings about them. Well, I agree that libraries need to keep up with technology. Any source of data should be Incorporated into the public offerings. The 'Away from the “icebergs”' selection was the only article I really enjoyed. The other offerings read like a library technical manual strictly for other librarians. I could understand them, but I can't say I enjoyed reading them.

Technorati

Technorati search site for blogs has been an eye opening experience. I never suspected how many blogs are out there, or how many I would be interested in reading. There was a blog listed under the search for www.pbclibrary.org which mentioned the readers advisory. When I clicked on the blog, a message appeared that that page does not exist. Too bad.

delicious

The delicious web site for compiling favorite web sites seems a great idea. If ever the computer crashes, all the favorites will be saved. And I found several web sites saved by other people who had the same interests as me.

webfeat

Ok, I put in Boca Raton and FL as the key words and checked off business. Wow, there were a lot of magazine with Boca. Not a single book, though. I viewed a few magazine articles at random, but not all of the articles would appear. I would get the message 'You have logged out successfully. Where can we take you?'. I guess not all articles are accessable to the public.

library thing

The library thing is working for me. I can add titles easily. I'll have to experiment to get more info listed for each item. My library thing is careyb23things, too.
