I tried it but couldn't get through it. Anyway, I don't use that at home. The books are just a breath away from me in the library, I check them out and read during lunch break.
For our customers who can't come to the library for whatever reasons, this is very helpful to them. It's a good library resource that everybody can take advantage of.

Podcasting
Podcasting...another aspect of Library 2.0 that has emerged since the past few years. Information dissemination breakthrough through the net. I pretty well know how it goes but naive on how to start from scratch (i mean creating one myself). Thanks for the tutorials online. For one thing, I don't have an iPod nor MP3 player. Poor me. I'll try to educate myself more on this and hopefully experiment on podcasting when I get my own MP3/iPod.
I learned that podcasting has been very popular way back in 2005.It is described as a simple way of sharing audio content over the web through syndication. In my readings, I found out that several libraries worldwide have utilized this tool simply for the purpose of making library information accessible to patrons. This sounds good and glorious.
For sure, countless patrons have benefitted this technology especially those who are not blessed with the gift of good eyesight. Without the Ipod nor MP3,one can use the internet to access information. This idea is so wise.
On the part of the library, it entails budget, time and effort. Some staff should be designated to do the task of podcasting over and above their regular functions.

It is relevant to what we're into.A package of our Web 2.0 exercises. A brilliant craft from a very smart professor. A way of motivating people of the current trends in information technology and beyond...Take some time to watch. Hope you'll learn something from it.
Educational and informative indeed!

web 2.0 awards
Whew! It's overwhelming to know about these stuff.
I tried the following categories: Education, Fun stuff, Music, Photos and Digital Images as well as the Social Networking Mainstays.
The .docstoc is a new discovery for me. I guess this is helpful to us especially in reference.
The hairmixer is cool. I tried it but wasn't able to tinker my own photo. I'll try it tonight at home with my own PC.
"Have you ever wondered what you'd look like with someone else's hairstyle? Wonder no more: match your face with one of HairMixer's pictures or upload pictures of your own."
Flickr tops the photos and digital images category. The good thing about this application is its capability to handle high-quality images. I'll try picnik for photo enhancements.
Friendster is honorable mention for social networking mainstays category together with myspace. I have my friendster account which serves as my communication tool with my friends and family back home in our beautiful country...

wow! Zoho
Zoho ... a set of online web applications....wow!
I find Zoho very interesting to explore. Most of its applications are easy to learn since we have been using them - the desktop based. If not for this training I wouldn't have known about this. I'll definitely use this. I use spreadsheets, wordprocessing and presentations most of the time and Zoho will be of great help. I can create and save my documents without sending them to my email to be sure if case my flash disk will fail. Good idea.

wikis
The purpose of wikis is collaboration and communication. It's like a one-stop shop wherein one can leave some important information for others to get and vice versa. People of similar interest and passion have a place to stop by and share thoughts, facts and ideas that becomes accessible to everybody.

web 2.0, library 2.0
Libraries will never be the same again.
No matter how fast technology affects our libraries, I can't foresee a complete tool that will replace our "librarians". They are extraordinary individuals that make the access of information easy and more simplified. Keeping up with the fast paced technological advancements is not everybody's "cup of tea" so to speak.
