Video on YouTube

Once again, this was great fun. I listened to both piano and guitar soloists. After talking with other staff members, I became aware of the incredibly funny and interesting videos on You Tube which I'd like to explore one day when I have more time.

And yes, the possibilities for KCLS seem endless. In addition to those already listed, how about new staff orientation as well as orientation in particular job catagories? I think most people enjoy learning via the video so I imagine the use of video will increase dramaticly in years to come.

Google Labs

Like everything else in Learning 2.0, it was fun to discover Google labs. It was like being in a luxury hotel, where you could have everything you ever wanted, and they were always coming up with new things you'd never thought of.

I liked google maps, google scholar, google transit, and google glossary, to mention a few. But I could certainly make use of the others, too. And I loved googles easy way to search.

On line Software

This was really fun to learn about. I can see lots of possibilites for using this softwear right now, and also possibilites for learning more about it and using other aspects in the future. For right now, I think it would be perfect for collobration on a novel. Or how about getting library staff input on, say, a remodel?

web 2.0

Web 2.0 will take the library into a new way of combining the internet and all it's potential with all the we have available in the library. It is the way of the future, and the way that people will be looking for and accessing information.

Wikis

I enjoyed the SJCPL Subject Guides wiki, ALA MidWinter 2007 Wiki and the library wiki examples especially library outreach wiki. The subject guides for SJCPL are so easy and fast to use, and because it's a wiki the lastest and most current information is available. The ALA MidWinter 2007 wiki is especially useful for people unable to attend the conference. I also argree with what was stated in the podcast: that it would be very helpful to have a wiki for what is going on at the library each day. It is much fastest that reading all that e-mail, and entries can be added and deleted easily. Overall, I think the wiki has expanded knowledge, and made knowledge more available to all kinds of people
