And lastly: I was on del.icio.us, but for some reason, I didn't post on it, either. I wasn't crazy about this one. Most of these sites seem like just useless talking (blogging). Just WHO is out there with nothing to do!
I know I was on library thing but I can't find a post about it, so here I am. Again! Harry Potter seems to be #1 for cataloging.
This post is a little late, but I was doing my tracking log and needed a couple posts. I was looking up other library web blogs and found some from all over the world. We sure are busy people!

Finally!!! Thing 23!!!!!! So very glad to be done. As I stated in a previous blog, it took longer than indicated to do each "thing". Overall, it was an enjoyable experience but time needs to be built into everyone's workday to do these "things". It definately took longer than 15 minutes for each thing! I really can't imagine helping the public with this stuff, but if asked, I WILL know what they are talking about. It was a good way to learn. I will try but will probably not do a very good job of keeping up with the blog. I wonder how long it will be available to me before I lose it? I'm looking forward to using my new iPod. But for now, my public awaits and I'm getting back to the desk!
I liked the idea of netlibrary but wasn't sure how to get into it. I found a site in a travel magazine: librivox.org that offers FREE books, short stories, and poems to download to an iPod. I want to try this for when I go on vacation. I may have to turn to the powers above: Jason, Jennifer and Lisa, for help with this. The site is supposed to have both adult and childrens titles. All the titles are in the public domain and are read by volunteers so there's no copyright infringement. This is how I hope to use my new iPod. (All my favorite music is on 45 and LP's!!!)
Thing #21:

Done! Done! Done! Podcasts, like You Tube, was fairly easy. I had a pretty good idea about whey it was but I was sure once I started surfing through. Now, on to #22!!!
I loved this video because it seemed like something I would want to do with all my books sometime! Also, what librarian has time to play like this in the library!?!
