Suffolk Wave

Some time back I went to SCLS to learn how to use Suffolk Wave. Last fall I did an Overdrive program to learn more about it. I easily downloaded a book, Ana's Story, but when I tried to open it on the computer it did not work. Maybe there is a glitch on their end.

Flickr

Flickr is pretty cool. But I am not big into sharing all of my personal photos. Snapfish has worked well for me so far. Shutterfly is also a cool photo site. But Flickr is good for the library website. I created my own account "LibrarianSkyle" and put up some photos of the sunset in Key West. Hopefully I will make it back there to see the sunset again!

Youtube!

I love youtube! Have loved it for a long time. I am posting a video of my cousin playing the guitar.

Library Thing

This is not the first time I have used Library Thing but it is the first time I have created my own account. Library Thing is a good place for me to log all the books I have read. Maybe if I am bored one day I will get out my cards and enter each book. The tag cloud for 7th Heaven is large and helpful. Especially the words that are in bold.

Delicious

For this exercise I tagged IMDB, the Internet Movie Database. IMDB is one of my favorite websites to use if I have just seen a movie and I want to know what other movies or TV shows an actor has been in. Swiss Army Knife Librarian was almost interesting to read. Delicous is a tool I will not use again. It is good to know it is there though. I do like the tag cloud on our opac. That comes in handy!

Facebook

The library has 98 fans on facebook. I enjoy having a facebook account but I didn't like having a myspace account. Facebook is much better for connecting with old friends and keeping up with newer ones.

Twitter

Today I logged into my twitter account that I have not used in well over a year. Anyway, I also posted on the library's twitter and found some new people to follow on twitter. After today I might not use twitter again. It doesn't do anything for me. Another task completed!

My first time...

Here it is.... my first blog.

The snow is coming down and I have been checking to see if any libraries are closing early. Just a few are.

2 boys are playing one of the games I just bought from Toys R Us- Pay Day. Sounds like they are having fun. Next time I think I will give them Fact or Crap.
