#19 - Web 2.0 Awards

I will certainly be checking out the Web 2.0 Awards at home. I am totally enjoying my own Bloglines. I have subcribed to more blogs since I started this Web 2.0 challenge. I now find out all the latest tasty wines that are under $20!

Judysbook.com looks like a blog I would be interested in. It shows all good buys in the area. Craiglists.com is another site that I have checked out.

So much information out there! I will be checking it out.

#18 -Web Apps - Google Docs

Checked out google docs/added my name to the library document. Another great technology learning tool! It would be great for our branch to use this type of document if we were working on something together at the branch. So much to offer.. so much to learn!

#17 -Playing in the Sandbox..

Wow.. another day for an exciting challenge! First I checked out the "sandbox" and changed some things. I added my favorite food - anything Italian and favorite football team -Giants Rock! Then, went on to add my blog link to OCL webthings.pbwiki.com. That took a couple of times though.. Had to figure out to add my "URL" link.. getting so smart!

#16 Wikis

I checked out Library Sucess wiki.. It was another interesting website. So much library information. From training, reader advisories and material suggestions, it offers the reader so much.

I also checked out Ocean County Library on Wikipedia. I enjoyed reading about the start of Ocean County Library. Since I live in Point Pleasant, I further read about my home town.

#15 Web 2.0/Library 2.0

Another interesting take on technology. I read the first two articles - "Away from the Icebergs" and "Into a new world in Librianship". Both made me wonder about our future of libraries. Do we continue to offer a collection of books/vs netlibrary/internet ? I think so. There are still people that like to come in the library and read something that is in book form!

Also, I like the idea of spreading information of new modern librarian.. with the use of instant messaging.

#14 Technorati

Wow.. another great idea to search all the popular blogs! Search Learning 2.0 and read many interesting things on the newest technology. This certainly will be a web site that I had to my favorite places!

#13 - Tagging - Delicious

Hi completed #13 and checked out things about tagging.. You sure can subscribe to obtaining so much information and sharing thoughts and ideas with others.

WorldCat & NetLibrary

Checked out WorldCat - another interesting website. I searched different books and found Ocean County Library always popping up to tell me that it was closest library to offer the book!

Also checked out NetLibrary. I searched for items on dieting/cooking and travel. Several options and selections were available. I guess I could try and show a customer how to use this feature now. I just would need the time.

I am actually doing this searching on a Sunday night at home! Wait.. what is going on?

I love knowing what new technology is out there!
