Method 11

I enjoyed several different podcasts.

I think that they could be useful to the library. Imagine podcasts that help first time users with different items in the library. (card catolog, computers,etc.)

I must admit I do love podcasts.
There are several that I subscribe to.

Method 12

I enjoyed a number of things about this program. There were a number of the technologies that I used for myself personally. Now I have learned that I can connect them all together. I can save myself time and still have the benefits I had before.
Flicker was interesting. I can see places I may have seen before, but you get another persons perspective on it.

I guess it goes to show that times are a changing and we better be ready to go with the flow.
Hopefully I will always be up for the challenge. This program made it fun and easy to work with my schedule.

I think that something I didn't expect to see was how open people are with certain things. Even though there are security measures it still leaves me a little unnerved.

I really enjoyed the content. It gave me an expansion on some things I already know.
I really did enjoy that it worked on my time frame.

I would love to participate in another program and I really look forward to hearing from you.

Method 5

I share photos with family and friends, but not on flickr.

I know you can make your photos private. Call me paranoid, I just don't want anything where people can easily hack into it.

I imagine lots of people enjoy this, and I'm not saying there weren't pictures that were very pretty. Just have my doubts that I will use this in the future.

Method 10

I really enjoyed the Wiki and everything it has to offer.

How many times do we have programs we organize and you send e-mails back and forth.
Here you can plan and one person can expand on your idea while another adds something.

I really think this can be a benefit for our library.

Method 9

I love IM chat, constantly use it with family and friends. It is easy once you know what your doing and let's you talk to them while your checking e-mail or just browsing on line.

I think it's great for a library if you have a large staff. I know we are a smaller library and most of the time if they send a IM we would have to not tend to a patron to answer them.

Not saying that I don't like the idea, because I think it is wonderful! Hopefully in the future we will be able to go to something like IM.

Method 8

I have to admit I have always had an issue with social networking sites.
After reading certain things today, even more so.

I realize there are benefits.
With some information I just don't feel comfortable everyone having access. Plus it's not just me what if they get things about my friends, pictures of my family together.

Call me a sceptic, but I just have my doubts.
