Week 4

Week 4! Visiting Pinterest one of my favorite places to find craft ideas for work. It was great setting up a board to post things, I will conitiue to repin and pin things to my boards for future reference. I find with sites such as Pinterst what I see today that I like or might use I can never find again tomorrow, by repinning ideas it should solve this problem. I have thought about how pinterest could be used in the library setting and I am not confident that I have a relevent answer. Possibly used to advertise upcoming events by pinning what crafts or books will be used, or to advertise new material to the collection? I would love to hear others ideas about how it could be successfully used in the library setting.

Week 3

Here is week 3 comments as a new post instead of a comment under Week 1 post!! Week 3!! Twitter was easy to set up and even easier to locate people and groups to follow!! Will I continue to update tweets? I hope to find the time to check on the account periodically however I do not see the need or have the desire to download the Twitter app to my phone. Maybe at a later date when I have free time to sit and browse on the internet I can look into the many useful features that Twitter has to offer. RSS feeds honestly had no idea what they were until this assignment. I have signed into the SOLS & Library news feed and found the information interesting. I will have to start looking to see what other websites offer RSS feeds. Twitter and RSS feeds could be useful in a library setting as it offers a quick reference to patrons as to the upcoming events and news of the library. Easy to track and user friendly!!

Week 2

Well after 4 weeks of this course I realized that I am to make a new post for each week not just comment on the original post!!! Another learning curve along the way; so here is the comments that I have made regarding each week only as a new post instead of a comment!!! 1. Well I have tried this a few times this week and it never appears to published I got a quick comment to work so here I am again trying to complete assignment 2. When I looked at assignment 2 I realized it was easy (other then posting again in this BLOG) I am already an active user of facebook, LinkedIn and when I started this blog last week I set up a google circle of friends. I did take some time this week to look at some of the suggested weblinks. Well week 2 comments done lets hope week 3 BLOG comments are easier then this week.
