Beyond Method #2

As the best option for Librarians I really like Netvibes. I enjoyed seeing what other libraries have done with it and it really seems to be a neat option for some libraries. I like the way you can put all the sources for news together. the different tabs you can give them for the different tools.

Looking at our library patrons I don't know how many would use it. Some find things like this helpful and we have more and more patrons checking our website and facebook every day. while other patrons if they were to log into our computers and see a netvibes or iGoogle page would siply want to know "where their search engine went?" and "why this showed up when they logged into the internet?"

I personally have an igoogle page, don't use it as often as I could, bui I have one. I will be looking into Netvibes though. I really did enjoy it.

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.
