Thing 8

I can see how these presentation tools might be useful for some people, but not for others. I do go to every site mentioned and read and researched each site, but since I do NOT have a digital camera or any pictures that I can upload, I don't see how this can be of any use to me! I read the blogs after Thing 8, and it seems that some people really didn't like doing this and some had no problems. I didn't see or hear anyone bragging that this was the best thing ever, so I don't feel as if I am missing out on to much! I will keep this information handy for when our library gets a website so that I can review this even more at that time!

Thing 7

I had just typed this thing, and now I have to redo it because I forgot to save it!!!!!!!

To make a long story short, here goes: I watched R U Ready? Setting up & Running Instant Message Reference. I love the idea of IM, SMS, and other options. I know that it will be a long time coming for our library because we are so small! I can't wait to walk into a library any day now to have all of these options available to us!! We currently only use email to notify our patrons of overdue library books or for letting them know there is a book on hold for them here!

The future is so exciting waiting for these things to happen!!! Once it hits this library, I will jump for joy!!!!!!!!!
