#19 Discovering Web 2.0 Tools

Web 2.0 Awards assignment was to view and pick a site. I visited several : Food Cat. I'm Cooked and didn't find what I thought it would be. Events Cat. was more of a schedule and I thought it would be curret events in the news. Photos Cat was adding your own photo which I don't have much at this time. Viewed Picnik in that Cat. Ended up on the Travel Cat and chose BOO which I never heard of and found it to be of interest and will visit again. I have several destinations that I would like to look at again. All the categories were so vague and I had to spend time to check different sites.

Zoho Writer

 

Learneda little about Zoho Writer and it can be used anywhere around the world. Maybe some day I'll just do that.  It's like a word processor.  I'm trying the different features and find that it is exploring for me. I don't have much to say but have enjoyed it.

THOUGHTS ON WIKI

I viewed the sites listed and many are for librarians or if you're subject minded in looking things up. Library Success was for librarians also. The New Orleans ALA Conference would interest those who would want to attend an ALA event. Book Lovers was the one of interest to me to look further if my favorites are reviewed and if I agreed. Also Wiki had examples of other libraries.

Thoughts on Library 2.0

What does it mean to me? Going to a temporary place and time is the one that caught my interest. Temporary might mean just that because something new is always on the horizon. And justly so. Who wants to be stale? This is the computer age and libraries are not the ones of the 'olden days'. As I tell customers who come in to our branch: The library has so much to offer. Just go the the Children's Library and see the little ones going to town on the computers. This is impressive to see. That reminds me of one of my own sons, he learned in grade school at age 11 and I don't want to say the age that I learned to use a computer.
