Thing 22 What Did I learn today?

I plan to keep up with the Web 2.0 and Library 2.0 tools by using WebJunction webinars, my RSS Feeds and Lisa (who is at library school). I hope 23 Things on a stick will offer a refresher/ updated tools program once a year. I will continue this Blog to use for StoryTime at our Library and Summer Reading.

Thing 4 Explore Flickr
Uploaded a picture from our own Flickr Account. It was easy to access, explore and upload the picture to my blog. I can see us organizing a Winsted Library Tour on our website. I would also like to get our Summer Reading Pictures as well as Storytime pictures on my Blog. I do not have an opinion on photosharing, you can either share or make them private.

Thing 19

Thing 19 Podcasts

1. Which podcast(s) did you listen to?

Nancy Pearls Book Reviews on KUOW 94.9



2. Which of the directories did you find easiest to use?
Podcast.com was the was the easiest for me to use. All I had to do was type in Nancy Pearl's name 12 hits came up and I could browse each one to decide which podcast to choose. I also just typed in Book reviews and found her that way as well.


3. Has this Thing inspired you to do any podcasting yourself or to subscribe to a podcast to listen to it regularly?
Thing 19 hasn't inspired me to do my own podcasting right now, but maybe someday you'll find me podcasting my storytime at the library.
I have subscribed to Nancy Pearls Books Reviews and her videocast BookLust, because she is interesting to listen to as well as informative plus in the videocast she interviews authors which are wonderful for me to see and hear.

Thing 18

Storytime with Mercer Mayer

Just A Secret

What did you like or dislike about the sites you explored?

I've already used these sites and they are lots of fun. I used YouTube to choose the video I chose, because it was easy to place it on my Blog. Google Video was interesting, because it draws the videos from other sites as well as its own.

Why did you choose the video that you did?

I chose the StoryTime video, because I'm the Story Lady and I take care of Storytime

Can you see any ways to use video--YouTube or other sites--on your library Web site?

If you make a video tour of your library facilities and services or of the activities going on at your library you could post that on your website use for marketing

This blog is possible due to my participation in The 23 things on a stick progam for librarians in Minnesota. Thing 1 was setting up a Blog. It has been interesting and sometimes confusing setting up this blog. The more I delve into the different processes the easier it has gotten. I will be keeping you up to date on my progress as well as updating you about our children's programming.
