This is the url for the Salvador Dali Museum in Tampa, FL. This museum is interesting for lovers of this artist. Perhaps this video portrays it in less than favorable form, but it seemed the least distasteful of many that I viewed.

Perhaps, a video demonstrating how to use various library tools would be useful for patrons.

A refresher course for those who took a Microsoft class could be useful.

YouTube is not a site I feel comfortable using at this time.

# 20 other web 2.0 tools

I explored 2 of the winning sites.

Biblio.com
Always looking for a new book a book search and market place for buying books is a "good thing".

The other site I explored was Yelp www.yelp.com
I like the travel information on this site. Which leads you into the restaurants and then onto shopping.

Sites like these would be helpful for people new to the area. Explore the city you just moved to and all roads could start leading to the library.

#19 Social Networks

First I want to say where were these online meeting circles when I was young and on the prowl?

Of course age taught me a few things, but I still can't help but wonder....

Currently I think of FaceBook, YouTube, and My Space as sites for the X & Y generation. So in my searching I choice to explore Bookspoke. http://www.bookspoke.com
I have always been a reader and like most people I have favorite genres. This site will help me find more books that I will enjoy.

I did search for anyone I might know who has joined this site, but found nobody. It also was not easy to search for members. Or it was not easy for me.

I will use this site again. I found the mother-lode on a few subjects! I might even join a reading group.

I can see a link to a site like Bookspoke being useful to our patrons who are always searching a for new books to read in their favorite genre.

I explored Google Docs., because one of my boys said he knew people who used and liked the program. I think I will like using it too.

I can see it as a great tool for moving info from one computer to any computer you may be using.
Especially if you tend to forget your flash drive.

I am currently working on my spreadsheet skills and this program will be useful.

I am also going to explore ZOHO. It has an online organizer that intrigues me.

# 15

Finally, I have found something that I think I can enjoy via a virtual library. Dr. Wendy Schultz's article To a temporary place in time... I found very interesting. In fact 4.0 the neo library experience is a place that I would enjoy time to visit. The knowledge spa has Shaken written all over.

I also enjoyed John Reimer's article about bibliographic services. The information on metadata using 2.0 was fascinating. I remember learning about OCLC over 20 years ago, while taking AACR2 courses with SOLINET. Using the OCLC as a cataloging tool over the years has been very valuable. Synchronized cataloging has, and remains a passion of mine. I found it interesting to update myself on the field.

# 16 What is a Wiki?

I enjoyed browsing the travel links in the SJCPL. The links work and I would enjoy having the time to explore them further.

First, I have to say that I loved the Princeton Public Library. It was always an oasis of calm in an otherwise stormy life. I particularly like the staff picks. I also enjoyed the Paul Robeson information.

I like exploring other library sites.

Wiki # 17

Exploring for the Linebaugh Wiki was an interesting process. But not one I am sure I would want to repeat on a regular basis. Wicki's are not something that I would rely on for proof. Perhaps it is a product of age, but I like something a little more concrete to work with on a daily basis. Of course I am open to hearing why others like Wiki's. We even had a discussion on Wiki's at dinner one the other night.
