Slyvester the Cat

Slyvester the Cat,
originally uploaded by cubfan2008.

I am playing with the blog this on the flickr page. I had a Halloween storytime at the library today. I took some pictures of the kids in their costumes and of my slippers. I am Slyvester the Cat, minus the head. I showed my head to the kids when they came in, but it is too hot to wear all day. I am dressed in black and white, with my Slyvester slippers.

Flickr

I have had a fickr account for several years. I also have a flickr account for the library, where I post pictures of different activities. It is a good way to let the community know what is going on at the library.

I found this picture of stormtroopers marching on Flickr. It is interesting to me since my children (especially my daughter) are into Star Wars legos. I am back to Ebay bidding on Legos for Christmas. Wish me luck.

RSS Feeds

I added some feeds to my Google Reader account. I am still not sure if it will save me any time, but I will give it a chance. Things 6 & 7 done.

RSS

I have been playing with Bloglines and Google Reader. I like Google reader better. It seems to be easier to add feeds, especially if people have a Blogger or Flickr account. I do not know how much I will actually use them. I will see in the next couple of weeks if they actually save me any time.

IM with Susan

I talked to Susan this morning. We had a short chat about all the different things to learn. Thanks for chatting Susan.

I need to find some other people who IM so I can chat with them.

IM

This is the first time in many years I have used IM. I chatted with my sister-in-law in Florida. Since I do not see them very often, it was a good way to catch up.

In our small library, I cannot think of many uses. However in a bigger library, it would come in handy to communicate with someone on a different floor or different branch of the library.

It would be nice to have an IM feature on the library web page for an ask the librarian a question. (But first we need to get a web page.) I can see this working in a bigger library. There are still a lot of people in our town who have to come into the library to use the internet. Someone would have to be at the computer to make this work.

After we use IM more, we will have to see how the best way to use it in our library.

Thanks for chatting with my Allana. Hopefully I can chat with someone else this week.

Learns 2.0

This is a new experience for me. Blogging is a new skill, hopefully, it will be something I will continue to us.
