Week 9: #22 downlaodable media

With the help of library's digital site we can download eAudio,ebooks,music and videos
24/7 to our PC at home, at work or anywhere around the world. For this one can use their
library card at HCPL digital media site.
The other sites like librivox and Wowio offers free e-books for downloading. when we compare the library site to other sites, it has lot to offer.
I found couple of books in which I will be interested in checking out are Antigua ,American regional cooking,and Amelia and the outlaw.

Week 8: #18 social networking: making friends in the comfort of your home

I explore the social networking site like Myspace,dogster and catster.com,and threadless.com
anyane can create web page with the help of internet and profiles, and photos too, with this
we can communicate with our friends by blogging and writing messaging.
we con keep in touch with some who lives far away.
Dog and cat lover can make friend with other dog and cats and create sites of their pet.
And the threadless is a T-shirt company people can take a look at the website and if they
like it can order it.
The main thing I like obout this site is people can keep in touch from halfway around the world.
you can create profile,do blogging,messaging and put photos.
The only thing I do not like is these thing are time consuming.

Technology has made life easy ,simple, and efficient.It may be technology that we

cannot live without it.If even one thing stops, our work stops.

I explored mashups and trip planner, I liked the trip planner more. I entered the place where
I want to go and it asked for start date and end date of the trip.And It gave me a list of places,

Week 6:#15 On library 2.0 and web 2.0

I have read two perspectives on library 2.0 that are about services and librarianship.
I would like to blog about "librarianship".
By using library 2.0 librarian can enhance their services,help in decisions to decide for library
material.It enhances new thinking in business.
we can learn from our failure and success and it will allow learn and play in their staff time.
"library 2.0 it's many thing to many people"means to me is it will upgrade the library services
to meet the user in their space.it provides so many tools to many customers.and it will bemore user centric and inviting

week 9: #20 discovering youtube

I explored YouTube site and looked at two video.One was"Moo learning how to walk"
and other one was"My name is Lisa".I liked second one better, It is touching and kind
of real short video.
The thing I do not like about the site is that every body can make video and post it ,
It does not matter whether it is good to watch or not.
