THING 22
GREETINGS O Newly Wise Ones .....
Well I did learn many things about web2.0 and etc.
I will continue to do much of what I have learned because I have begun to use some of it, the easy stuff, on the library blogs and I really want to make the library interesting and FUN! I will not promise to check this blog everyday, but I will TRY to keep blogging when I find something new. Since my aggregator is part of google and so is blogger I shall probably be checking it every so often or move it over to the library account. There is too much I want to do ... wish me luck on accomplishing some of it. Thanks to Donna who looked at different places and things than I did and therefore helped me get through 23 Things much more easily than I otherwise would have done. SuperS

THING 21
Here I am. As you can see below this blog I joined 23 Things in Ning. I like the idea of badges and it was very easy to add. I contacted three people to be my friend and two were available to answer. Added this Ning thing to my RSS feed so that maybe I will see it and read something. Maybe join something else later. I need to think it out more thoroughly. This is very interesting and I will explore more in the future. SuperS
THING 20
Well - I set up two social networking accounts. In facebook I managed to sign up two 'friends', joined a very local small local group, and wrote on its wall some gibberish. I also joined myspace. This was easier to use in many ways. Easier to find out who is on it that you already communicate with and easier to get in and out. I loved the Denver Public Library My Space Page - Cool Kitty Kitty - fun to explore. As usual I print everything that interests me so I can read it at home and use it later if I have time. Maybe sometime I will use myspace or facebook - who knows..........

Thing 19 - Grand Finale
No more podcasts for now. I subscribed to the grammar one. This got me to find my reader which I had not even thought of since I made it. I like public radio. SuperS
Thing 19 No. 2
How very interesting this is. I do enjoy it, I wish I could do this with pix. I suppose I can but I haven't seen how. Have a good day. SuperS P.S. I am here at the library on Sunday afternoon working on this ... yup I know but I'll get done.
1st Thing 19 Podcast???!!
I have done something to my blog. Don't ask me what but click on 1st Thing 19 ...
See what happens. I like it this way. SuperS

Thing 18
My You Tube is there under Thing 18? you just can't see it. I enjoyed looking at videos - too much so. I posted to my blog the machine is using us cause I like it soooo much. Looked at many of suggestions and thought most were dumb. Lick Library tours like the one for WSU and the LC one called trip to the library. Liked the Swedish one and sent it to family. One really has to be careful about how creative you are for I can see, looking at the library tours, how easy it is to be boorrrring or allow yourself to get really weird! It would be fun to try to figure out how to do a video without a camera or any other tech stuff - i.e. some of the online picture stuff we did earlier. Maybe I will get the TIME! Thanks. SuperS

THING 17
We have had ELM in the Arrowhead Library System for years. On our homepage it has been available as a link Magazine and Newspaper Indexes. I do not wish to have anything else coming to me that I am not interested in and therefore I am not doing the RSS feed. I know I set a reader up but I have never checked it. TIME! and I am sorry to say inclination. SuperS
THING 16
I am going to put this in small print for I cannot see how I can use this. We have very few students use the library to do research. Its all done on computers at school. Maybe the school librarian will be able to use this thing productively. Planning on the computer would take away from time I need to do. SuperS
THING 15
Hello out therrrreeeeee! Ahoy mateys! Whatever. Tried both Puzzle Pirates and Second Life. Played one game on Puzzle Pirates. Made some money so I will have to decide what to do next. I am not one to play games, slow learner. Signed up in Second Life but I could never get in. Spent over an hour off and on trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. Maybe try again tomorrow or next week if I think of it. I'd rather play solitaire. SuperS
THING 14
GOOD DAY! Really like the idea of Library Thing. So much so that I came two hours early today and put our Sherlock Holmesian Fiction Collection into Library Thing and then put it on our Pix N Things blog on the library home page. Not hard to do at all but I used up all of my free space. Oh well. Thanks for the idea. I tagged the collection Sherlock Holmes and Buhl Minnesota for anyone who is interested and doesn't want to go to our home page. SuperS

Thing 13
I am here again today! I find that I already have a My Yahoo page. It comes every time I sign in to my Yahoo account. Several things interest me but I don't HAVE TIME!! I bookmarked zamzar mostly because I could have used it earlier this week, maybe use it again when I receive something weird. I really like the look of backpack so bookmarked it for later. I use a paper desk calendar and don't have a computer free to use a computer one so redundant. I do not list - have to find list to use it, have to spend time keeping it up, have to be organized. I have seen tinyURL around, especially in email from Arrowhead Library System. Finally I bookmarked lifehackers guide to free software - I know, I'm suppose to bookmark on delicious, but I would never find anything if I did that. I want to use what I know how to do. Maybe when I have time.
Thing 12
Greetings Thing People! I have just read Thing 12 and did that which I could do without joining anything - although I am going to suggest newsvine to someone I know who is a news junkie. I read an article on Africa - Tanzania and how they are working at setting up a social service to help the extremely poor. I then entered the article into delicious and tried to dream up tags at which I am very very poor. I also emailed the article to a very good friend who will be very interested in the article having been in the Peace Corps in Tanzania. I do not think I shall use this thing NOW. Maybe in the future when I have a computer at home but I do not think so. I already get too much information for my very small brain. A very interesting thing tho. SuperS

THING 11
Greetings to Whoever Reads These Things! Thing 11 has finally been gone through and some work DONE! I added some tags to my Buhl Public Library Skylight Pictures for one thing. This was very easy, and I do not know if what I did will help the pictures show up or not. I have tagged some pictures in my flickr account and if I am not in my account I cannot find them, soooo. What am I doing wrong. The Pictures and public. Delicious is easy and fun. I do not like sharing too much but I put in the page of the person whose video I watched (LibraryBytes). That is an interesting page. Then I checked my bookmarks and added the weather page I use. And finally I added the pix n things blog from the library homepage. My tags are probably really bad, for I have no immagination for labeling. I then looked at the library list that said these libraries used tags. I noticed them for one library. The rest I got caught up in looking at their homepages, their designs et al. Interesting but time again limits use. Maybe when I have nothing else to do. SuperS

Thing 10
Wikis - Very interesting way to share information and increase information available. I am thinking of using a wiki in one of my blogs LATER after I am done with these ThingS! I like some of what you can do. I enjoyed the library wikis. I would like to add to one of them sometime. (timetimetimetimetime). I added a comment to the 23 Things on a Stick wiki purely to prove that I was there and could do it. Forward and onward! SuperS

Thing 9
How can you edit this document. It is a foundation for us that I will not play with. Sorry 23 Things. http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dcztfx83_0dcbfwff9&invite=g5qmcqf I notice people are playing around but won't myself. Not only that when I tried to copy paste the address for ZOHO it said it could not find it. I am not meant to do this thing the way it says to do it in 23 Things.
Not only that I can not link from my email for some reason - i.e. old program. I guess I will need to update it sometime when there is time. Hah. SuperS

OK Now, I am NOT doing Thing 8 Anymore!
I have spent too much time trying to do nice things with things 8. I enjoyed creating but not posting for I did not post! No matter how hard I tried, reading EVERYTHING! So I am going on to the next Thing and seeing if I can have better luck. Hah! I wish I could do everything I tried. I love playing with pictures. SuperS
This is weird.

THING 7!!!
Alright, thing 7, my nemesis. I do not really like e-mail. Tooooo much comes...toooo little time. I already use all the stuff but address book on my work email. I have two other emails that I use for personal notes. I have a brother-in-law that loves email. Email could take up way too much time so I ignore most of it, and delete a lot of the rest of it. I don't write letters either.
Instant messaging is interesting. I set up an account and put in addresses and opened it once again but never checked. It let me know when I had an email message which was OK, but nothing important when I finally got around to checking it. I think if I had internet at home I might be more into this, but... The movie was really good and if I was more knowledgeable and had more time and patience I would probably try something. I do feel it is important. I do know that people use IM, in fact I have a friend that said GOOD when I asked her if I could add her address, but again I am not online at home.
Text messaging. Again a problem for the library. You need a cell phone. I own one for emergency use when I am in my car. I do not use it. I need a class on SMS. I have heard of a possibility of one in town .... have it at the library????!!!!!!!!
Web Conferencing. There is nothing happening NOW in OPAL or MINITEX. I have been to a few at ALS and from this computer. There are two being offered this week according to email. Time is an issue.
I guess Thing 7 is a place where I have some knowledge and not enough time to learn more. In many ways I would like to know more about IM and text messaging but time and availability of tools are very limiting. I did learn something though and I did keep my IM account. On to Thing 8. PS. I am feeling blue.

Thing 4
My goodness! Do not ask me what I have just done. I hope no one asks for my help in solving any problems with this. I know that flickr will now automatically put a pix into this blog when I ask but I do not know how I did it. Is this the way it is for everyone???? SuperS

Thing 3
OK - I've played with RSS feeds and its fun to play with but I have no time for it. Im waiting for a friend to register her blog and then I will add her blog but at this time I just looked for fun stuff. So far nothing good enough to share with anyone. Supers

Number Two
This is taking me time because I am trying to understand jargon I do not know and am not good at remembering. Soooo ... my perception of what is said might be unsatisfactory.
Several of the sources that we were to read were to try to help us understand why L2 is important. It is seen by the articles and presenters that the Web is a tool to bring people together in many ways and that libraries can and should be a part of that tool. It is felt that the Web can create relevant relationships and conversations and that libraries should be able to find it easier to harness library users however they may see the library in planning where the library will be relevant in the future, probably a difficult change in the way planning is now done by many.
The web can make it easier to find information that is wanted. Libraries are good at knowing how to find and organize information and we should adapt ideas others have to make what we are good at doing better. We need to reach beyond the 'library building' to share information, to expand and enrich the library experience.
The Wikipedia article was the only place where I saw any concern about how do we do this. Is this what 23 is all about????????????????????????? Supers
