Thing 10-Websites- go!

I really like the many photographs on the Boston Public Library website of people using the library!
I also think that the teen movie reviews on the Denver Public site are really cool!
I downloaded "The Owl and the Pussycat" by Edward Lear.

Google calendar

This is easy to use --even for the first time.

Wiki "fun and learn" time

I had some fun with the Charlie Brown cartoon and have used Wikis before, adding to the ALSC wiki about the partnership committees that I am a Priority Consultant for.
I have not been a fan of Wikipedia because with my librarian background and daily experience I have always put accuracy and reliability of information first.
I can see Wiki use for discussions between staff instead of a meeting at a set date and time.
This would allow a freer exchange perhaps than emails to the group concerned.

Children's books and more

There were several tags on this subject that would be useful I think. Will think about adding links along the way.

Podcasting good things to share

I looked at the Denver Public Library podcast and the Charlotte Mcklenburg Teen pages--I liked the cool names for sections (the Loft) and think this is a good way to promote what the library has to offer teens.
I would like to try this with an author visit in the coming year.

Happy December!

And happy me to have finally found some time to work on 10 things. Never too late to learn something! Happy also to have done the RSS websites, the IM, and got MySpace set up too. Now I can see what my niece is doing with her site.
It's useful to have the RSS set up so I can get new things from my most regularly visited websites for my work here.
