Wrap Up

Yea, I have finished Library 2.0!!! I enjoyed participating in Library 2.0 for many reasons. The first reason is that I have learned and discovered many new things that are out there that I would have never discovered. I thought this was a very useful and fun learning experience. My favorite discoveries were Google Docs, Library Thing, and RSS. I will continue to use these sites in the future. I would definitely participate in another discovery program if offered! So when is the next one;-)

Exploring 2.0 Tools

After looking at the different sites and tools, I'm glad to know that I'm pretty up to date. I have already been using many of the sites on the "Short List" and some I have been exposed to by participating in this Library 2.0 program. It is good to be aware of the many different sites and tools out there so that we can help the patrons.

Online Productivity

This is such a great idea and it will be very useful for me. You can easily create a new document and tranfer a document onto Google Docs. It's amazing how many useful tools I have discoverd using Library 2.0! It has been very rewarding.

Online Book Communities

This is a very useful site, I can never remember what books I have read and now I can easily keep track. I love this site and I will continue to use it. Great idea!!

Del.icio.us

This is a neat and well organized site that can be very beneficial to many people. The JPL account has many useful sites that can be of great use to us in helping our patrons. This is a great site and is very useful in a business setting.

Podcasting

I searched around the different pod casts available, but I did not see anything that caught my attention. I'm a visual person so I would rather watch the news on TV then listen to a podcast. However, this is a good idea for people on the go that do not have time to watch TV.

RSS

This is a very nice way to keep all your favorite sites in one place. This is something I think I'll be using often. It was very fast and simple to create! Hooray for RSS!!!

Technology

Ahhh technology, what did we do before computers? How can we live without our computer and cell phone! Technology has come a loooooong way and it is very helpful but at times it can be a pain. I wonder what the future will bring, we will probably be without a job because robots will be doing it:-)

You Tube

You Tube is pretty awesome, you can view millions of different videos from around the world. Searching through you tube I found a Disney world 3D video. I love Disney world, wish to take my son back very soon!!!!! I think you tube can be useful to a library because you can add videos about previous events at the library. Here is the link to the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wmdCeFUQH4&feature=related

Flickr

Just finished looking through Flickr. This is something I would like to do if I had the time to do it:-) It's fun and interesting looking at other peoples pictures. It's also pretty cool since you can see many different places around the world! I found a picture of the Eiffel Tower at night, I would love to see it in person one day! Paris looks sooo beautiful in pictures. The picture was taken by twrbl's and here is the link to the photo. http://www.flickr.com/photos/39708452@N00/3945138883/

Twitter

Just finished creating a Twitter account, my username is jimenezl1. I think I like twitter better than the other type of blogs since I don't have time Blog. Does that make sense;0)
Maybe some day I will catch up with Technology!!!!!!!!!

WIKI

WIKIs are pretty cool! They are easy to use and you can create your own! However, I don't know about being able to edit somethnig very easily. I don't know if I could trust it 100%. But, a WIKI can be very useful for a library, you can post so many different things. You could post book reviews and different library programs!

Technorati

Just finished searching through Technorati! It's amazing, there is soooo much to see and explore.
However, the pages are so busy with tons of info.
