August 8 Week 5 #12 Rollyo

Added a Rollyo to my blog. So now I can search all of the sites at once and come up with the answers I need. Interesting idea. Would use this if I didn't work in a library. Nice to be able to suggest to patrons.

Avatar Week5 #10

Yahoo! Avatars U.K. & IrelandYahoo! Avatars U.K. & Ireland Here is the avatar. I really wanted to do better need to try again.

Week 5 #11


Tried Library Thing. It is really fun. If I only had the time to stay and play! My favorite parts where finding a Historical fiction group. I have read most of the books but it is a good source for readers advisory. Also loved the YA group. The other fun things where to create my own library with a catalog-cool and I found this great picture about Harry Potter. Book pile contest-so cute and imaginative.

Week 4 # 9 Merlin


Off and running. Spent a lot of time looking through the site. Checked out the Social network and enjoyed signing up for Merlin and finding LIB VIVE. I added a note to the Sandbox. Don't know if this Sandbox is the same as #17. Will find out more as I go along.

Rss Week 4 #8

Went into RSS and created Bloglines newsreader account.

Very interesting idea, I like the way it created all of the links as I input my interests.
But seriously who has time to read all of this info?
We tend to think the younger generation is more advanced technology wise, yes because they have so much time on their hands. Single, or married with no kids.
Once life grabs hold of you with commintment and children, not to mention a husband, there is no time to read a book much less spend time on a computer searching for interests.
My kids do keep me young, and more popular with the younger patrons, especially when I quote verses from the popular raps and songs. But I prefer to walk my dog then be stuck at this computer.

Technology plays aloud Week 3 #7

Guitar Hero II is a big hit with my girls and their friends. I have even been caught playing a few songs. My brothers would just shake their heads as they play the real thing! Lots of new techi-toys to play with in this modern age.
