Youtube & Google video

When search on You Tube there are more results than from Google video.
I have seen You Tube before when my friends shared with me via email, now I know how they embed, from now on I am able to share with my friends if I find anything interesting. There are so many videos around, I think the one I have embed to my blog, "be quiet game in the library" is interesting.
QandANJ: now your library is open late night too is quite interesting too, it sounds like a "Drive in" library.
Libraries should take the advantage of video, there are so many ways to utilise, such as to demonstrate how to use OPAC, how to make self booking for public computers, or a video on library tour etc...

You Tube : be quiet game in library

I tried so many times to copy the big trunk of the text, but it did not work, at the end I used Edit Html, and I got it the first go, yeh.....

Wikis

I have used wikipedia so many times, but never know that anyone can edit, add any information.
Wikis are good for some, watching Leelefever's video clip, planning a trip is very useful to use a wiki, instead of emailing each other, but for medical information not sure how reliable it is, although there is some staff who will freeze a topic if errors reported by readers.
SJCPL subject guides wiki is interesting, the button Talk to the library is very handy for patron, you can leave your feed back, comments, opinions etc.
Using a wiki to coordinate library program, could save a lot of staff meeting time.
Wiki is great for book clubs, staff /patron can use it to write a book review, also it is a way to promote new books.
Wiki can be used in local history, people can share your family history etc.

RSS feeds

Finally I have now subscribed to both Google Reader and Bloglines, one thing down is too many account to create, although I prefer Google Reader, will stick with Bloglines.
RSS is very new to me, but I think is fun, the news headline come to you very handy.
This new technology is very beneficial for the library patron, Library can use it to promote events, newly catalogued items for those who don't come to the library too often.

I added 5 RSS feeds to bloglines, they are About.com Pilates, Blogline News, CNN.com, Power House Museum, Travel blog.

Have done a news feed to my blog too, and find it's fun, will do some more.

Go back week 1

Today I just happened to go back week 1, and oops found out that I missed watching Stephen Fry's video, but could not hear what he said some part, then scroll down saw the transcript, it really helped.
"The idea that you could be lose that moment is completely disappeared", I like this remark.

Overloaded truck

I have spent hours on this week's activity , I could explored photos from the Flickr for hours, after got the first photo posted and read FAQ, found out that I need to write something like how I learn, comments.... so I though I will do another one.

well, I find this is hard and time consumming. Especially it is self training, there is no one to ask if you get stuck, you end up spend a lot of time explore yourself, also it is not only 15 minutes, it's more than that, there is not enough time at work, so I choose to do it at home.

May be in the beginning, so many accounts to create, I am not sure if I am doing the right thing, as I have set up and registered my blog, but it doesn't appear on the Participant's blog list, I shall wait until next week (after 3 business days).

It is a good idea using blog as a news platform for library to promote library's events such as book sale, school holiday activities etc...., and also give library patron opportunity to write the comments on library services, or their suggestions.....

This is a photo that I took on a trip to Silk Road, it was a real overloaded truck turn over in front of our tour bus, danger.....

Blinddate to blog

Well, at last I am here now, it took me so long to get to write my first blog, as I know nothing about blog, although it's simple to follow, I am still very slow.



I am happy to participate this program, hope to learn more about blog, can be a blinddate to blog...
