Week 9 (#23 Conclusion)

Though it is time consuming and I had spent numerous of hours of my own time, to me Learning 2.0 is the most wonderful thing that happens. This is one of fastest ways to expand our online services and provide the needed information to the community. It is 24/7 if the resources such as feeds, bookmarks, pictures, podcast, etc... are shared through the Web. Today teens are spending their time mostly online working on their myspace, blog, flickr, rodeo, games. As a librarian I do need to learn more modern technology and online tools to keep up with them. Yeah, I am Learning 2.0 graduate. I am so excited about this whole ordeal. I spent so much time on this but also learning so much incredible information. Many many different things such as flickr, delicious, image creator, fd’s toys, and so many other things that I have heard and seen people do but never got a chance to get the hands-on experience, but this learning 2.0 session has given me this opportunity. I am really seeing myself using all of these experiences for work in future.

Week 9 (#22)

Ebooks and Audio books are wonderful resource and have enriched our collection. When we can not find any thing on the shelve adapting the customers' need and the library is about to close, it is time for them to read their ebooks at home. Audio books are cool to listen when the customers travel or get stuck in traffic.

Week 9 (#21)

I took a look at Yahoo Podcast directory and found it very interesting. As a Young Adults librarian working with teenage customers in the library, I found Series Information: Focusing on Solutions a Positive Discipline Podcast very helpful. It is program that teaches important social and life skills, in a manner that is respectful to both the adults and the young people. Visit http://www.positivediscipline.com/ for more information. I also added the feed to my bloglines account at http://www.bloglines.com/public/chieuattully

Week 9 (#20)

I think Youtube is a wonderful tool for us to share movie scripts with each other by emailing and posting them on our blog or website. The movie script above was recorded at my workplace in the Community Room. I can use youtube to record and post library programs and facility to enhance my outreach effort.

Week 8 (#19)

I took a look around LibraryThing and created an account of chieuattu for myself there. I added couples of books, here is my LibraryThing account at http://www.librarything.com/profile/chieuattu

I think this LibraryThing would be useful tool for a book club program. I added three brand new books and only 10-25 other members had added in their account. Two bestseller books were added by about 2 hundreds or more participants. A classic book “Of Mice and Men” by John Steinbeck was added by other 3300 other members. I found some great discussion of my favorite Sci-Fi at http://www.librarything.com/groups/sciencefictionfans

Week 8 (#18) First document using Zoho

I went to the Zoho Writer and created a free account of chieuattu for myself in Zoho Writer. I think this Word Processing resource is wonderful. This might benefit us from spending money to update our Word software.

I tried the Publish function and creted the "First document using Zoho" to be a sharing source. The software gave me an html link to post on my blog. The viewers can also give comment about this post. This is cool!!!I also tried Zoho wiki, which was an awesome function, my wiki is http://chieuattu.wiki.zoho.com/
