week #8 Zoho

Wow, Holly macrow Batman, This Zoho tool is great. I would need a week or two to explore, learn, and try out all of its features. I diffinaltely see the usefulness in it and appreciate the user friendliness tool bar. As an on-line college student Zoho is wonderful for working in groups. Right now at San Jose' State University we use Elluminate at a tool that allows us to share files, use a whiteboard, text boxes, and pass the mic to talk to each other. I like that one could add pictures or slideshows with Zoho. I diffinatelly want to really learn and fell comfortable using all aspects of this Zoho tool. Have a fun day. Sara

Wiki

Hey i like to wiki.
I used wiki for a school report. I found it interesting and useful. The library wiki's that we went to for this assignment were great. I learned about Spokane county, New Orleans, and 10 ways patrons can help spread the word about how great our library is. I will do more exploring when i find time. Sara

Here is a cool link to fun desktop backgrounds. Enjoy. Sara

Library 2.0 #13, 14, & 15

The articles where interesting, here are my notes:
Away From The Icebergs

• Technology changes mean Library changes
• Libraries need to change with the times. Yet, I personally feel we have proven that collections are always useful.
• Libraies are no longer in the print area. Meaning that informtion is every where, and as easy as pushing a few buttons.
• Libraries need to create new ways of serving our patron's.

Into a New World of Libraries

• The bibrary is human, it us run by humans and is for humans.
• Libraries will be guided by how users access, consume, and create content.
• Libraries will take on a teaching mode. Teaching patrons how to acquire information for themselfs.

To More Powerful Ways to Cooperate

• Users add value
• Library staff will serve patron's by teaching them how to use and then retrieve information by tagging, google, WorldCat, RSS, blogging, flicer,etc.. utilizing all the componets in Library 2.0.
