Learn & Play Experience

Well this is the end of Learn and Play for me. I have enjoyed learning about different tools on the web. I am definitely not a Librarian 2.0 yet, but I am a work in progress. I do appreciate this practice that we were allowed and encouraged to do during work time.

#21 - Podcasts

The purpose of this "Godcast" directory is to help you find all types of Christian podcasts to watch and listen to! Grow in your Christian walk with Bible studies, sermons, Christian music ...

You can find them all FREE right here, and listen or watch on your computer, or take them with you on your MP3 player!

"This is a good way to use podcasts!"

Stumble Around

I just discovered Stumble Around and I love it. I think it is one of the best tools that I have found through this Learn and Play. I will definitly use Stumble Around.

#18

How fun it is to do the Hair Mixer and share songs from Last.fm. I liked looking at all of the different celebrities hair styles; it gives me ideas for my own hair.

Google Docs

I created a couple of Google Docs. This is probably one of the most beneficial applications that I have learned about so far. I think I will be using this often.

PBwiki

So I created a wiki page but I don't really know what I did or how I did it. I know that it is an actual webpage but how can people get to it. I am still confused about all of this Library 2.0 stuff.

Wiki

The wiki seems like a very good idea for librarians and other people everywhere. Of course, I just wonder how we can know how accurate the information is on these wikis. If everyone is just adding random updates, where is the factual information that librarians need to share with the public.

Library 2.0

This article and the perspectives were overwhelming. There is a lot I have to learn to be a Librarian 2.0.

Tagging in Delicious

I can see how tagging in Delicious would be helpful for research. I already was using some of the reader's advisory tags that other people had posted.

Twitter

I figured out how to tweet and found a lot of people I could follow. I don't know how much I will use this, but it seems fun and east. My username for twitter is amycatlady.

Library Thing

I actually created a catalog of books a while ago for Library Thing but I forgot my password. So this is very good to revisit it.

I will definitly have to play around with this more.

Image Generators

These were fun to play around with! Here is my image!

Library Blogs

I found a couple library blogs. One was through Bloglines; this one was used to ask questions of other library workers - called the library shelver. The other one I went to was http://www.theshiftedlibrarian.com/. This one had people blogging about changes in their libraries. I found both of the blogs very insightful.
