1123 On A Stick

Thing 47

2009-06-03T18:08:00.002-05:00

I had a hard time getting started do More Things. To tell the truth if we didn't get the extenstion I probalby would not have made it. But once I buckled down and got to it I really enjoyed it just like the first one. I definitly would do something like this again.

Thing 46: Webjunction Minnesota

2009-06-03T17:53:00.002-05:00

I've been a member for awhile and I have done some free classes. I think think it a great site. Classes were very informative and you could do them as you had time.

Thing 45: Cloud Computer

2009-06-03T17:49:00.002-05:00

Joining the cloud would have the advantage of being able to access your things from anywhere you are. Would be very good if you have to travel allot for work and you need to get your information. Don't know about the security issue but I think if anyone is going to get into your account they will do it.

Thing 44: The Economy

2009-06-03T17:46:00.002-05:00

I checked out some the the sites and I liked MN Gardening and U of M Extension Garden Information, Fuel Economy. gov the best. As for the banking 2.0 I wouldn't use because my own bank as its own site that does most of that stuff.

Thing 43: Online TV & Video

2009-06-03T17:43:00.002-05:00

I have never watched anything online TV before. This will be great when I miss an episode of NCIS. For me it wont change my watching TV habit it just that I will be able to watch what I missed. I also don't think it will change most people habits of
watching real TV.

Thing 42: Music 2.0

2009-06-03T14:04:00.002-05:00

I have used internet radio before as for using pandora I don't know I'll have to see what happens. Maybe if I use it enough I might not be able to quit.

Thing 41: Mashup Your Life

2009-06-02T21:00:00.002-05:00

I signed up for Lifestream and added all by accounts and it will alot easier to check in one place instead of each one separately.

Thing 40: Mashup the web

2009-06-02T20:22:00.002-05:00

I don't know if this is what I was suppose to do is this blog but I did embed something from Walkable which is kind of cool. Would be nice if you go visiting you can see where all the places of interest are and that you could walk to them. I checked out Book tour and Bubblr. Book tour would be o.k. to check up on a favorite author and where they are going to be.

Thing 39: Digital Storytelling

2009-06-02T16:59:00.001-05:00

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

This was so much fun!!! I used Smilebox it was so easy and fun. I could do this all the time. These would work good in the library to document and event and print it and have available for patrons to look at.

Thing 38: Screencasting

2009-06-02T09:26:00.002-05:00

I started this thing last night as a read through it I thought I don't think I can do this. The more I thought about it the worst it got so I thought I'll try tomorrow morning and see how it works. Well, It did it. I used Screencast o matic because I thought it was the easiest for me. As you can see I didn't do anything hard. I believe this would be a real help to the library by showing how to use library web site and such.

Thing 37: Photo Tales

2009-06-01T20:58:00.001-05:00

I use Flickrslidr and it was really easy to use. You could use it in the library when you want to show whats been happening in the library,

Thing 36: Comic Relief Generate Some Fun

2009-06-01T19:47:00.005-05:00

I had a lot of fun playing around with everything. You could use alot of these to make your library blog fun. As of yet our library as not used any generators. Doing the comic generator was easy and you could use it in the library by posting a different one each day.

Bev's Dewey Decimal Section:

252 Texts of sermons

Bev = 252 = 252 = 252

Class:
200 Religion

Contains:
The Bible and other religious texts, books about the general philosophy and theory of religion.

What it says about you:
You don't mind thinking about the unknown or other very big ideas. You will never feel like your work is finished. The 200-series is dominated by Christian topics, so you may feel like you're constantly surrounded by Christians.

Thing 35 Boook 2.0

2009-06-01T07:22:00.002-05:00

I have noticed in our library that adult reading as increased while teen reading had stayed the same or decreased. I don't thing Book 2.0 will hamper the library if anything it might increase the usage by give patrons more chooses of books that are out there and being able to read reviews about the book. There will always be patrons who would want to hold the real book. As for getting books on your phone and ipod might be popular with the teens and young adults because they are so busy and always using them anyway. I liked What's Should I read next and Overbooked and bookglutton. It was fun to read all the reviews.

Thing 34: Is It Competition? Online Answer Sites

2009-05-31T15:28:00.002-05:00

The appeal to online answer sites is that you can do it anywhere you are and it is private. You definitely need to be aware of where your answers are coming from and you ask a question on any of these sites. Some of the questions I found on the sites were personal questions that you might not want to ask a librarian. And yes some questions could have been answered at the library such as a phone number or address, or a history question. I think the people that use these don't know about all the resources that the library as available for them.

Thing 33

2009-05-31T14:35:00.002-05:00

I went to the travel blog Notes from the Road, I thought it was very interesting to see where people have gone and what they thought of the place. I can see using this if you traveled alot and wanted to let others know about your trip. As for the review sites i liked Trip advisor best and will use it when I plan a trip. I don't know how much these would be used in library only if someone is planning a trip.

Thing32 Google Maps and Mashups

2009-05-31T14:31:00.002-05:00

I found google mashups very interesting. I likes the most dangerous road on earth and hotspotr and imap weather. I don't know why but I had a little trouble with creating a map.

thing 32

2009-05-31T13:46:00.001-05:00

View Untitled in a larger map

Thing 31: More Twitter

2009-05-13T17:32:00.001-05:00

2009-05-13T16:17:00.000-05:00

Thing 30: More Ways to Use RSS & Delicious

2009-05-13T13:38:00.002-05:00

I have been using my rss to keep up with things that are going on with libraries and also the I like it to check the weather. I don't use it as often as I should. As for Delicious I don't use it because I have my bookmarks somewhere else and as for tags I really don't care to share what I am interested in.

2009-05-12T21:42:00.003-05:00

Thing 29 Google Tools/ Productivity

2009-05-12T21:42:00.002-05:00

I have been using g mail since I start 23 things on a stick. Today I updated my gmail by adding google search, create document, title tweaks, insert images, calendar gadget. An changed the background. I think i will use the calendar alot.

Thing 29 Goggle Tools/ Alerts

2009-05-12T20:25:00.002-05:00

I picked alerts to try . It was real easy to set up. this is very helpful in receiving alerts on the subjects you pick right away this is useful in library and personal use. I use it to get alerts on weather and new about libraries.

THing 28 Customized Homepage

2009-05-12T15:29:00.002-05:00

I chose iGoogle as my homepage because I had already signed up for that one. It was very easy to set up. I added a calender, clock, weather updates. It was alot of fun looking thur all the gadgets you can put on your homepage. I can see using this in the library for staff to keep up with whats going on in the library all in one spot.

Thing 27 Twitter

2009-05-12T12:28:00.002-05:00

I set up a twitter account and my user name is goldenlibrary. I search for some library followers and added them to my account. I spend alot on time checking out the things you can add to twitter. I think it would time consuming to do it all the time. I tried to put a badge on the blog but I couldn't get it to work.

Thing 26 Join 23 Thing Ning

2009-05-12T08:17:00.001-05:00

I already was a member of ning. I went and updated my profile and added some pictures , apps, and left a comment.

Thing 25

2009-05-12T07:19:00.002-05:00

I looked at a lot the the things. I did the email to the post which I thought was good. I added some widget to the blog.I spent way to much time checking out all the options you can put on the blog. Maybe when I have more time I can come back and actually add some more.

Test Run

2009-03-04T15:32:00.001-06:00

This is just test run to see if I can post to my blog from email.

Thing 24

2009-02-24T14:53:00.002-06:00

It took me a while to get going on More Things after I registered but here I go. I did some changes on my blog (changed color, added a gadget). I didn't do alot of blogging after 23things but I did read other blog and enjoyed reading them.

MLA

2008-11-25T20:57:00.002-06:00

Last week I went to my first MLA Conference. It was a great experience. Had sessions about LibraryThing, Google, 23 Things, Romance Genre, Inspirational Genre, book reviews, breakfast session with Will Weaver. He talked about writing books for young boys. Also a session about the online reference called AskMN. It is a great option for patrons to get questions answered when the library is closed, it is available 24/7.

Thing 23 : Final Thoughts

2008-04-16T07:07:00.003-05:00

If you were to offer another program like this again I would differently do it again. I learned alot about the different things of he web that I always heard about but didn't have an idea about. Now I at leas know what people are talking about. I 've heard alot of things about mySpace and facebook some good and not so good but I think using it in a library setting would be great.

Thing 22: What Did I Learn Today

2008-04-15T12:58:00.002-05:00

I really enjoyed doing this. Some of the things I learned can take alot of time if you let it. I hope to take some webinars and keep checking into the new sites that I learned about. I'am going to try to spend at least 15 minutes a day adding to my blog and checking my rss reader. Also I plan to use my igoogle more to keep track of things going on.

Thing21: Beyond MySpace: Other Social Networks

2008-04-14T08:02:00.003-05:00

I liked the sites that reviewed books; book.gather.com, mnlife.gather.com, I add these as a rss feed. Joined Webjuction. Also checked out bakespace and shelfari which I might keep checking out. But these all are time comsuming to check.

Thing 20: Libraries and Social Networks

2008-04-11T15:09:00.002-05:00

I signed up for facebook account and added the groups that 23 things had listed and also checked them out. I didn't spend alot of time in myspace but I went to the libraries that were listed on myspace and I thought they were wonderful. What a great way to get the teen interested in the library. I think if I were to create an account for the library I would also make to geared toward the teens.

Thing 19: Podcasts

2008-04-10T08:27:00.003-05:00

I tired alot of different podcasts I went to podcastally.com, Minnesota Public Radio podcast and Yahoo podcast. I found a book review http://recordingstalkshoe.com/rss17371.xml . I like podcastally the best. As of being inspired to do a podcast I don't think Iam ready for that yet but many sometime in the future.

Thing 18: YouTube & Other Online Video

2008-04-09T09:33:00.003-05:00

You sure can spend alot of time looking at videos and really and get sidetracked from what you might be looking for.

I chose this video because if showed how to use ProQuest which would be useful if someone didn't know how to use that database.

Some of these video could be very useful on a library website, advertising programs that might be coming up in the library, showing how to use databases, showing things that are available at your library.

2008-04-09T09:30:00.001-05:00

Thing 17: ELM Productivity Tools

2008-04-08T20:47:00.003-05:00

These tools are very handy when your a doing research . And you can get the information even when you are not at the library. When you find a article you want to share you can email it to a colleague. This is a wonderful service for library patrons

Thing 16: Student 2.0 Tools

2008-04-08T17:30:00.003-05:00

I looked at both Assignment Calculator and Research Project Calculator. Both look like they would be easy to use. I wish I had them when I was doing a research paper. They might have kept me on course.

The handout in Research Project Calculator are wonderful for the student and librarians in doing a research paper.

Thing 15: Online Games & Libraries

2008-04-08T17:06:00.002-05:00

Tired Puzzle Pirates I did the bilfing. I wasn't to good. interacting with the other pirates was different. I think if I spent more time with it I could get the hang of it.

I watched the video for Second Life. I really like the idea of having a virtual library. I can see where kids like to play interactive games.

Our library has an x-box and a wii system for our preteens. It is very popular.

Thing 14: Library Thing

2008-04-08T12:24:00.004-05:00

Library thing is really neat. It can be really useful for libraries to put on their blogs so patrons can see what the library has and what other books are similar.

2008-04-08T12:03:00.001-05:00

Thing 13: Online Productivity Tools

2008-04-08T11:13:00.003-05:00

I tried to do the countdown but I couldn't get it to countdown don't know what I missed. I will try later to see if I can get it to countdown. Iam using igoogle for my calendar and and list and reminders. It was a lot of fun picking out gadgets for igoogle . I think this will be real useful when I get in the practice of adding things here instead of notes all over my desk.

2008-04-08T11:13:00.001-05:00

Thing 12: Do You Digg

2008-04-07T20:33:00.002-05:00

I found that all these were fun to look at and that you could spend alot of time just browsing through them. You definitely can spend more time than you expect to spend looking at them. I though Stumbleupon was really neat Different photos and videos. In all of these sites the articles are pick according to popularity.

Thing 11: Tagging and Del.icio.us

2008-03-26T17:47:00.005-05:00

I can see where using del.icio.us would be great if you were doing a research paper. Also in the library you could use it to tag article about libraries. I would love to use it to tag recipes that I find on the web. What is really nice is that you can access your tags from any computer. I could not apply the del.icio.us buttons to my computer at work but I did it on my personal computer.

Thing 10: Wikis

2008-03-26T15:35:00.005-05:00

Didn't know to much about wikis before this. All I knew was that you had to be careful about the information because it may not be accurate. I think a wiki would be great to use as a interoffice wiki for the staff with policies and instruction on how to do things. I don't think that schools should ban use of wikis for research papers just emphasize the fact that all the information may not be correct. I edited the 23 things on a stick wiki.

Thing 9: Online Collaboration Tools

2008-03-26T14:15:00.003-05:00

Being able to put a document out there and have people change and had ideas to it is great.
It would save alot of time sending things back and forth with the changes. I think google docs is easier to use then zoho writer.
I think our Founding Fathers would be astounded at what we can do now.

Thing 8: Share YOur Creation

2008-03-21T15:09:00.002-05:00

I chose to do the PictureRail I didn't have any problems with it. I can't see using this to use what new book you have in the library and pictures of whats been happening in the library. I could spend alot of time just playing around. As for the eFoilo I don't think I would use it unless I was going to school.

Thing 7 Web 2.0 Communication Tools

2008-03-14T15:17:00.002-05:00

E-mail is very important in our library its alot cheaper than calling on the phone between libraries. We also use it to let our patrons know when they have a book in and things of interest to them. As for text messaging and IM I have not done any of those. But I would like to in the
near future. Webinar look very good and you can do them when you are available.

Thing 6: Online generator

2008-03-07T11:49:00.002-06:00

I had fun making the trading card and doing the cartoon. The trading card idea might be good for showing new books.

Thing 5: More flickr

2008-02-27T17:16:00.003-06:00

I had a little trouble with the letters until I copies and paste the html the picture puzzle wasn't to bad. I think you could spend alot of time playing around with these.

This wasn't to bad once I figured out how to to get the blog this button. I think this could be useful in a library blog to show what is happening in the library. I have mixed feelings about putting pictures of people on the blog but you can always have them in private view only.

Thing 3: RSS

2008-02-23T16:55:00.003-06:00

I didn't have to much trouble with this. I used goggle reader added a few sites. I can see where you can really spend alot of time with this. It was fun searching for sites. I could not figure out how to get it to my blog.

Thing 2: Web 2.0

2008-02-23T14:40:00.003-06:00

In Stephen Abram's video his says in order to make time to do 23 things you need to decide whats important just like you decide whats important inn other things in your life.

John Blyberg's blog its very important for a library to keep up with all the new things in technology in order for a library to keep growing. People are using these new tools and we need to have them available at the library.

I'am looking forward to learning about flicker, myspace, facebook on 23 things on a stick

Thing #1

2008-01-29T14:55:00.000-06:00

I just finished creating a blog it was very scary to begin with but the more you work on it the better it is.
