Thing # 19 Discovering web 2.0 tools

I am not an artist or comic writer, but I went into the Disney's Comic Creator. I chose Minnie Mouse and changed her eyes to a wink, and changed her hat and shirt. I titled it Minnie Goes Shopping, and told the short entry that she was winking because she is using Mickey's credit card. How fun! What happened to those days of copyright worries????

I think this 2.0 tool would be great for making posters with cartoons to announce children's programs.

Thing #18 Zoho Writer

Made a word document with an imported picture about Thanksgiving and Santa Claus. I hope very few people are following my blog--one follower is listed! Not much in my blog.

I like the Zoho Writer and can see very good immediate sharing of information, pics, etc. I am always tickled when I actually learn one of these new methods!

SANTA CLAUS

Thing 17 PBwiki

I had a little trouble finding the Invite Key, but Joanne F-C helped me. It was super easy to set up the PBwiki account at PLCMC Learning 2.0.

Thing # 16 wikis

I find it very interesting that wikis allow for open collaborative information sharing by everyone.
Content can quickly be edited and added to constantly. There are no requirements of HTML or other computer languages for one to be involved in a wiki. Wikis democratize the process and participants in sharing new information instead of a hierarchy of limited individuals. It can cover any subject including meetings, conferences, or hobbies ad infinitum...

Wikis could be used in libraries to make changes to subject guides, get customer reviews on books (replacing OPL's long ago method of adding comment sheets inside the books!), and be a community hub of information about activities and events in Omaha and surrounding areas. The Circ manual could be on a wiki.

Thing # 15

Library 2.0 is changing the way we receive information from customers and get info out to them.
We can interact quickly and almost "in person"/virtually. It facilitates feedback and participation and interaction by the libary customer. It's reassuring to know that OPL uses some of these new services: Virtual reference, downloadable media and e-books. Library 2.0 means to me that customers can be more included than ever before on a constant basis.
The long tail which seeks to reach more non-users by connecting to them by use technology is a boon!

Sharing of digital collections and more types of material listed on WorldCat will help libraries and users and non-users share information.
User comments like Hennepin's catalog, and changing subject headings suggested by the library
consumer can only help us to better serve users!

Mind-boggling and exciting!!!

#14 Thing

Technorati is a very good looking site. I claimed my own blog on it. I also did searches which informed me that Jennifer Garner is pregnant AGAIN! Tried to use Michael Vartan tag which led me to IMdb. Using the tabs on Technorati I could search by Celebrity and gossip, News, etc.

It's a good thing these are social.....because I can see where I could be on my computer 24/7!! haha

Thing 13

I see that I could go broke looking at all the quilting sales tags!! This is fun and much work is already done by others that leads to more tags, specific or general!
For research this would be great--sharing information would be done instantaneously--no waiting for FedEx or the Post Office. I could make lots of new friends who love to quilt!!!

ps I did make a Delicious account and have two bookmarks with a quilting tag.
