Google Reader and RSS

Google Reader and RSS feeds are good for keeping current with news and events. I already use some RSS feeds on my google reader. I learned that there was a bomb threat at Stony Brook.

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.
