23 Things Assignment #6

Working with Online Office Tools was easy and very interesting. I opened a Gmail account and had absolutely no problem login on to Google Docs. I can see this being useful when collaborating on documents with staff at other locations. I was very happy to use the many formatting tools. Spell check is another useful tool I will definitely use. This is too much fun!

Tagging and Social Bookmarking can take quite a bit of time. I found this assignment a bit of a challenge, and difficult to set up. However, I did manage to register, and create an account on the Delicious (del.icio.us) bookmarking tool site. I have added favourite tags to my post, and also a web page related to Italy to my del.icio.us account. I do see the importance of this, and find that accessing my bookmarks on any computer can definitely be useful.

Time for a break ...................
The generators were great fun; I especially liked the Blues Name generator, which names me "Howlin'" Eve Bell.
Using "Big Huge Lab" was quick, easy and alot of fun.

Pictured below; one of our favourite librarians, Nancy Pearl. When she's not hard at work shushing patrons in the library, she is promoting and celebrating the written word around the world. Packing in her suitcase only the dewey decimal system!

Learning about RSS and Newsreaders was very interesting and new to me. After setting up an account with Bloglines, I subscibed to the following RSS feeds:

• Library Journal


• Cuisine - recipes


• Weather - Italy


• iTunes top 10 Songs

I know this will be useful; I will be up-to-date with topics I enjoy.
