Thing #19

I've checked out a few of the libraries subscription sites and found Canadian Newstand, Oxford Reference Online and Novelist Plus interesting. I think all three will be useful sites for us at the library. I plan to check out more when I have more time to browse.

Thing #17

I probably will not use the shared calendar in Microsoft Outlook but now I know how to access it if I need to set up a meeting.

Thing #11

Have explored 'technorati' and found some relevance to library applications but not much.

Thing #3

Exercise completed.

Thing #23

I enjoyed browsing the selections for audiobooks. I have chosen two and hope to use them soon. Unfortunately my selections can only be used on my PC and I like to listen to books on my ipod so I'll have to try one of the other titles to do this.

Thing #20

I tried to go online with Askaway with the NVDPL but the page could not be displayed. Then I tried WVML and VPL with the same results. I will try again.

Thing #18

After reviewing the tutorial on 'search folders' in Outlook 2003 I realize how disorganized my email is. I can see how this organizational tool would help me a lot.

Thing #14

I liked the Booklovers Wiki and tried the SJCPL site as it piqued my interest in genealogy but found it limited to the the US. I will look up others as I want to search my family history in Ireland.

Thing #12

I've just signed myself up on Facebook. Wow, most of my high school classmates are already on there. I never thought I'd be interested in a social networking site but I can see the benefits of reconnecting with old friends whose names may have changed in the last 30 years and would be difficult to find otherwise. Just adding a note in May that since I've signed up on Facebook, I've had many highschool friends add me to their account. I think that's great!

Thing #9

I've signed on to LibraryThing and added some of my favourite books.

Thing #8

I have downloaded the online image generator "cooltext" and I made this...

Things #6 &7

I have finished both #6 and #7. I set up both Google Reader and Blogline accounts and have found the international news and sports blogs interesting.
