I rarely use the phone book for information; usually I use one of the available services on the net, like Merriam-Webster, Reference USA and Google for example for information.<br /><br />The most challenging thing with the 2.o Project, for me, was probably making and editing the changes in Wikipedia for the Libraries information site. I had to read some of the instructions on Wikipedia. It wasn't an easy cut and paste to add the 'ANNEX' logo there. Also the RRS feeds were new to me and seem useful in getting information you visit often on the internet into one location. <span style="font-size:0;"></span><br /><br />As far as how, we PVLD can use these technologies to improve our services. I think maybe offering more training classes to our Patrons, so that they can become more aware of the new and changing technologies on the internet, would be a good first step.<br /><br />I wish my parents would get a computer, so they can get the email/information that goes between us kids in the family.<br /><br />The self-directed leaning was fun and interesting, not really hard at all.<br /><br />Where is my MP3 Player????</div><div> </div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhJY8WHQPVtJArhgIKxKvigHBR0jMa4kRc1rbZ0JwFCg7HEESBFZcKZP44GRVMBfndzNwdzLH2me8_OKKUoI8APB9Ur2pVFYy1iQp6vSQ3QV2jAMr1L0IcZfiVAs3cu7RQWN0jzLJSQ4U/s1600-h/sandisk1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5032195989753254450" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhJY8WHQPVtJArhgIKxKvigHBR0jMa4kRc1rbZ0JwFCg7HEESBFZcKZP44GRVMBfndzNwdzLH2me8_OKKUoI8APB9Ur2pVFYy1iQp6vSQ3QV2jAMr1L0IcZfiVAs3cu7RQWN0jzLJSQ4U/s200/sandisk1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><div></div></div>Bldg Engineerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08382847187590224259noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430575784336052660.post-8101762514073190812007-02-14T11:22:00.000-08:002007-02-23T08:45:15.506-08:00Task #10, MySpaceI made a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">MySpace</span> account and added or should I say, invited some friends to join, but sadly they have yet to respond to my request -- except one.<br /><br />The link to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">MySpace</span> account is: <a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=157142539">http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">friendID</span>=157142539</a><br /><br />It seems to be another way to tell the world about yourself, and a place for friends to stay connected to one another, which is cool. But they're potential problems, because as you put more information about yourself on the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">internet</span> for the world to see, your privacy and anonymity diminishes.Bldg Engineerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08382847187590224259noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430575784336052660.post-42296104627698360852007-02-09T15:32:00.000-08:002007-02-09T15:35:03.486-08:00Task #9 Google Docs & SpreadsheetsThis is neat because you can put letters and correspondence in your Google files. You then have the ability to access your stuff from any Internet location.<br /><br />This is great if you have to come to the Library and use one of the on-site Library Data Bases for research; you could cut and paste your information here and then you're able to access it without having to return to the Library.Bldg Engineerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08382847187590224259noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430575784336052660.post-24673437734351060472007-02-08T15:18:00.000-08:002007-02-08T12:31:58.205-08:00Task #8 Youtube.comMy Youtube user name is 'RobPVLD', the video I watched is from Hillsong Church - 'Mighty to Save', great song.

I know the Young Reader Librarian's would love this.<br /><br />RobBldg Engineerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08382847187590224259noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430575784336052660.post-77548581404584347642007-02-08T11:45:00.000-08:002007-02-08T10:03:29.555-08:00Task #7 WIKIPEDIA<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2spB4VCoGx9baEDrHjaIiH4hKASiMWW4ksbOISLSMjc0u6CK9JMIoQ5YeA3jzIdC_FazeJrHFEbFI5sBEGbJjgF3rf3VvSsDMmvHh8vydqgZnQshKo54zVHWCLbucZZ-L6pkAX5KyFfY/s1600-h/annex-plain+small.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5029253632212816386" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2spB4VCoGx9baEDrHjaIiH4hKASiMWW4ksbOISLSMjc0u6CK9JMIoQ5YeA3jzIdC_FazeJrHFEbFI5sBEGbJjgF3rf3VvSsDMmvHh8vydqgZnQshKo54zVHWCLbucZZ-L6pkAX5KyFfY/s320/annex-plain+small.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>My WIKIPEDIA user name is 'Robpvld'.</div><div></div><br /><div>I added the Annex logo above the Annex address at the Palos Verdes Library District page.
