Finding New Feeds

I found finding new feeds to be quite easy. I had no preference to any of the search tools suggested in the lesson. I found each to be user friendly and I am amazed at the information available to you at any time. You can type in any topic and you are never disappointed by the information available to choose from. From factual information to personal points of view, it's all there.

Discovering Feeds on our Catalog and Website

I think offering RSS Feeds to our patrons on the Library Website is good customer service. Anything we can offer our patrons to make the library accessible to people who would rather use the internet is great as long as we always consider those who do not prefer technology. I think our priority as a library should always remain connected to the community by keeping the library in more of a personal touch.
I did find that subscribing to the library as an RSS Feed is convenient to keep up on what is new and being offered there. I found the links in the lesson were incorrect.

RSS Feeds

I think using the RSS Feeds are a great way to bookmark my favorite spots on the internet. I find it an easy and convenient way to keep my favorite places at my fingertips. Creating a Google Reader was not difficult and adding a feed seems to be easy. I added my favorite place on the internet which is the BBC News. I love being able to connect to it so fast.

SuffolkWave- Audiobooks

Searching for the audiobook "Three Cups of Tea" was the easy part of this exercise. I found it difficult to navigate through the steps to actually download it and burn it for use. It is much easier for me to get it from the library and I enjoy coming to the library to browse and be out and about rather than always be on the computer. Suffolkwave is a good tool for those who enjoy using the computer for all their needs and have limited time to get to the library.

Flickr

I think Flickr is great. I enjoyed browsing through many of the photos and think it is a great website to share photos with family and friends. When searching flickr for photos my daughter, Virginia Weyer, may have posted, I came across a photo of Weyer's Cave, Virginia and decided to put a link to it on my blog. It's fun to put names in randomly and see what comes up.

Youtube

I really enjoyed Youtube! I think that just about everyone could find something on Youtube to enjoy. I personally enjoy the music videos and decided to share one of my favorites.

LibraryThing

Listing books and navigating LibraryThing was easier than I thought it would be. I think this can be a great system for people to use who are avid readers. I particularly feel that it can be a nice social network for people who are home bound and love to read and book share.
