WEB 2.0 AWARD WINNERS

I chose the iFoods. I really enjoyed this site beacuse I love to cook. If you are a beginner cook, you can follow the video step by step for instructions . It also list the ingredients needed and how long it takes to cook. This could be used in a library setting with a video instructing patrons such as, how to renew their items or place holds online.

ZOHO

It was easy to use. It has a lot of online applications in one place. I'm not sure about sharing documents others because someone else can get in and get your information.

PBCLS WIKI

I had lots of fun doing this. Adding to a wiki is very easy to do. If you are not technology inclined like myself that's no problem.

WIKIS

They are fun and easy, especially for people like myself, who are not technology inclined. It is a good way to communicate between coworkers and to inform others about programs at your Library. I like the Bull Run Library Wiki.

WEB 2.0

Libraries are not just a collection of documents and books, they are conversations,they are convocations of people ideas, and artifacts, in dynamic exchange. Libraries are communities. If Libraries and technology merge together, we would be able to provide all the resources a patron needs in one package.

TECHNORATI

It's mostly technology. It is too advanced for me. As I searched through our website, it lists some programs that we offer.

DEL.ICO.US

I see can see the potential for this tool as a research assistance that can be assessed from anywhere. This site also can be very entertaining through pictures and words.

WEB FEAT

I found web feat to be interesting. I was surprised to see a couple of articles on my hometown, even though they are old. Where I am originally from, is a small rural town.

LIBRARY THINGS

This site can be very useful.It lets you see if other people share the same reading interest as you have. You can see other people ratings and comments on books. I would recomend this site to patrons and co-workers. It lets you keep a record of the books you've read. I love to read. I just can't seem to find the time to read as much as I would like to. I know there are books on CD and cassette. There are some narrators who would put you to sleep, especially if you are driving. I prefer to read the book myself.

RSS

There are some advantages of using the RSS and newsreader. You can have only the information you want to read without having to read everything. It can be an advantage for library use because you have less researching to do.
