MLA CE Week 7

I've enjoyed finding and sharing YouTube videos for over a year. Up until now I had only thought of them as entertainment, but now I think I see potential value for instructional purposes.

I'm not sure if the quality of the videos will be adequate. Would like to hear from other librarians.

Hello, this is a photo of the New River Gorge, a site not to be missed if you travel to West Virginia!

MLA CE Week 5

I enjoyed using Google Docs and sharing a document. I believe I'll be turning to it more and more for its ease of use and collaboration.

I see many possibilities for Zoho also. The spreadsheet, project management tracker, and many other capabilities are wonderful.

MLA CE Week 4

I started to use del.icio.us a few months ago and have really enjoyed it. I love being able to put my own tags on information and finding out what others are reading. Quite often, I am led to related articles that are very useful to me and my patrons. Also, I had been finding it very cumbersome to try to locate my favorites or bookmarks.

In response to the question in this week's exercise about Social Bookmarking, I do think that these tools can be beneficial to librarians in their work with MLA or MAC Chapters. Most of us spend a good deal of time collaborating with each other on various projects or papers. For example, if a group is involved in a marketing project, we can find great information about what other chapters are doing, or a paper or poster presented, tag it and then share it with our group.

Up until this time, I had been reading about Library 2.0 tools. Now, I intend to use them on a daily basis to organize my time.
