Week 3 - Things 5, 6, 7....a postscript

The new image on my blog is a sketch of the photograph of the museum, and it is courtesy of Starr's blog. One of her posts included a website that converts a photograph to a line drawing, and it easily made the conversion. Thanks, Starr.

The Product Pipline article in a recent issue of netconnect (a supplement to Library Journal) featured the website SearchMash. It is an experimental search site from Google, and you should visit it while available. I searched for information on a financial term and for information on a favorite artist. The results included websites, blogs, videos, images, and a Wickipedia entry....and the result screen is well designed. Take time to visit www.searchmash.com

Week 3 - Things 5, 6, & 7

I embarked on the Library 2.0 Express, because I wanted to learn more about technology that could impact my work as a librarian in the Information Services Department. I especially am interested in finding new ways to further promote the Business & Investment Center (a department assignment), and even at this early date I see that Library 2.0 can lead the way. Exploring Flickr this week has spilled over into my personal life. I had often thought about using an image sharing website instead of sending images via my e-mail account. Because of a recent family occasion...and our daughter's digital camera... I am using my new Flickr account, and evenings are spent editing photographs and uploading them to Flickr. I'm taking my time, hoping to create an interesting gallery that will also mean an interesting PowerPoint slide show. I know that it is not age-appropriate for me to say, "This is so cool", but "This is so cool". Next step...I'm going to use Montagr to create a montage of the Flickr photographs. Another next step....I'm purchasing a digital camera.

Week 2 - Things 3 & 4

It worked.....and here I am with my very own blog. I found that listening to and absorbing the 7 1/2 habits of highly successful lifelong learners affirmed what someone ahead of me on life's timeline told me....."Embrace being a beginner, no matter what your age. It's the only way to grow." At 80 something she still is growing and is an inspiration. 7 1/2 habits gave me a framework for what I plan to do with Library 2.0.

Week 1 - Things 1 & 2

Mission accomplished.

Testing the waters

I've crossed the boundary, and here I am in BlogLand. Stay tuned.
