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!!!
