Thing 16 - Investigate YouTube

• I thought there was a lot of information not worthwhile. I looked at the 1970 T.V commercials and recognized YouTube was a way of recording videos for posterity. I looked at the library YouTube videos expecially the tours for example, Tour the library, Your public library, and Tour of Library West at University of Florida. These videos were used for instructional and promotional reasons and I could see them being used in orientations and for some library classes instead of powerpoint.

Thing 15 - Play with Flickr

• I created an account in Flickr, took some photos of the library and uploaded one the images with a tag chislib marked public.


• A great way to keep a backup of your photographs in an organized way.

Thing 14 - Tame technorati

• Found the search function useful to find a video of interest, but doubt I would be a serious user of this sight.

Thing 13 - Discover delicious

• Created a delicious account for myself. The reason I would use it is for computers in multiple locations. I also found the categorizing or tagging facility useful, a little like favourites and folders.

Thing 12 - Library Thing

• Could possibly use to track, rate and annotate books in my subject liaison area.
• Could use both professionally and privately to look up reviews.
• Link to Library Thing : http://www.librarything.com/home/creation

Thing 11 - Play with an image generator

A fun thing to do. Added text to an image generated from http://www.imagechef.com/

Thing 10 - Edit a wiki

• Tried to be to clever here, and so was unable to create an account in wetpaint, but once you have created an account it is as easy as editing a word document.

Thing 9 - Read about wikis

• A wiki would be great for co-ordinating workgroup activities, good for discussion groups and for adding and editing topics for conferences and meetings.
• I liked the way the Book Lovers Wiki feedback from patrons was categorized into sections making it easier to read. It was also interesting looking at the Library Sucess best practice wiki and comparing versions of the wiki over time
