librarything

I just have to say, that I am one of those who use librarything and just love it! I put our new books on it and then post it on our website. check us out under new items. www.freemanlibrary.org It is so easy! The customers can than see a cover of the book and even read the blurb. It is great. Another similar program is listal.com. I use this service also because it has a section for DVDs. It is wonderful!!

wrap-up

What I am going to try to do is to take the half hour twice a week that I use for this class, to continue to explore and learn more. Since I already built this time into my schedule it should be a very doable project!

wrap-up

It is absolutely amazing what is out there to be used for our benefits if we just take the time to use them. For example, www.localendar.com is a great place to use a calendar on your web page. It is easily uploaded and easily edited. If only a person had more time to explore and try. This challenge was wonderful because it made me take the time to do just that. Thanks for doing this. I loved it!!

Wikis

Wikis definately have their place. If you don't know how to create a web page wikis would be a good place to start. Also I can see this as a great place for a "what should I read next type of interaction". If you could get patrons to start leaving edits on the book they just read this could be a great asset to your library.

I really enjoyed the clip of what mom says in 24 hours that I had to include this one too.
