23 Things -Assignment #8 - Part 3

I enjoy You Tube but find that I use it almost exclusively when someone e-mails me a link to a clip. I rarely search it for a topic.

You Tube could probably be used most successfully for promoting youth services. YAG members could create a video and TPL could create links to it from other sources.

23 Things Assignment #7 - Podcasting

I subscribed to the following three podcasts, all to do with travel or cooking or a combination thereof:
Weird Chicago
Culinary Media Network
On the Menu.

This was my favorite assignment so far as I love to watch cooking videos. I discovered video clips such as "Fun With Fondue in Zurich" through the cooking podcasts.

23 Things Assignment #6 - Online Office Tools

The ability to share documents is probably most useful for students. It might be useful in our work at the library for jointly preparing annotated bibliographies like the one we do for Asian Heritage Month. Three of us work on the entries and then send the information to one person to compile the bibliography. With Google Documents we could all enter our own information.

23 Things Assignment # 5: Tagging and Social Bookmarking

Delicious will be useful as I have just purchased a new computer. I found the tagging process similar to the one that I already use at http://www.librarything.com/.
