Week 9...22

Netlibrary/Overdrive

My library has these two resources. I have practiced downloading on both sites, in hopes it would be easier for me to explain how to use them to customers. I still have a bit of a hard time wrapping my head around it, but I think this is because I do not use MP3 players regualarly so it does not sink in. The concept of ebooks and eaudiobooks is great.

We recently subscribed to Recorded Books's downloadable videos. I have not heard much patron feedback yet, but I had fun watching Antiques Road Show!!!

Week 9...21

Podcasts...

I am not sure about this either. I do not know how this could really improve my life. I searched the three listed websites and nothing jumped out at me.

I did go to the ala wiki and there were some podcasts there. This might be useful in the future, especially YALSA podcasts.

Week 9...20

You Tube...

I really, really, really want to love this. It seems like a great idea and I hear so much about it. But, I am still not crazy about it. Some of the stuff on the is ridiculous crap. Some of it I find interesting and cool. I was able to see Faith Hill yelling at a fan at a recent concert. That is something You Tube helped me accomplish.

This could be neat, but is definitly something I could live without. Who has time to sit around and just talk to a camera and post it on the internet?
