library sandbox wiki fun?

HARDLY! From trying to log in to being told not a member of the workspace to having to reset the password, I have given up! Again, lots of frustration! Supposed to blog about a wiki, well I found a Flintstones wiki! Doesn't look like much added, I may be inclined to contribute something of my vast knowledge of useful (less) information. Next, I'm on to find the Flintstones blog!

Week7wiki

WIKI WIKI FUN! Learning about wikis this week. The two sites I visited were the Princeton Book lovers and Bull Run Library.

I really enjoyed the book lovers. However, it was out of date, reviews are now posted in their catalog. The concept was great. I'll have to look for others.

The Bull Run was set up very neatly as well. Looked like a great way to zero in on happenings at the library (more so than here). The set up was a bit confusing at first w/the topics to the right. I just kept clicking to find out what would happen. The spanish applications were a nice touch.

I thought Bull Run's was very nice application process that would definately benefit public libraries.

week6technocati

This lesson was supposed to explore the popular feature on technorati. However, that link is no longer working, something that has become very frustrating as I go through these exercises. Tried visiting video area suggested w/no luck. I'm writing off this one.

week5 rollyo

OK, this I like! Kinda cool. I created a rollyo w/storytime craft ideas. Seems I'm always frantically searching for ideas right around the time for storytime. I found this site very easy to use. Since nothing "dinged" when completed, I had to double take to make sure everything saved. Should be a great time saver and when I come across other sites, I can easily add them. I see this as one of the lessons I'll take w/me!

Hope this is right!

week5,Librarything

My apologies, doing this out of order. What a great discovery! I actually looked at Librarything for another training, had an account and still remember the sign-in! I enjoy this, great way to organize what I've read. This one actually makes sense!

week 6,#13

Exploring del.ici.ous. First, the video didn't work, some of the links are broken and I'm still trying to figure out the site and tagging. I did look at some of the posts, how it was tagged and number of people who tagged. All in all, not getting it, like much of this training.

avatars - wk 5

Holy Cow! it worked! Like my avatar? very unwilma, but that's okay, just playing around for fun. Now what? This was a neat exercise, enjoyed looking at all the options, but don't know when I'll use this again. This is a lot of work!
