Week #8 - Youtube?

CN Tower being struck by lightening 3 times!

Black History Month Celebrations

This is a great tool for TPL. I believe that we are already tinkering with the idea of using Youtube. It is an effective way to reach thousands, perhaps millions of people. It can be used as free advertising for our programs and events as well as a place where people can find out more information about the Library. We can even use it to show the public how building projects are progressing.

Week #7 Podcasting

I really like podcasting...much more than I thought. It is like listening to the radio on demand. I like having the choice of when to listen to segments as well. Lastly I've really enjoyed listening to segments that are very educational and feel like an online class. I can listen while doing other things too! I chose the following podcasts to share:

Online Office Tools

I think that this is a wonderful application. Sort of like working on the shared drive except it is transparent who has been working on the document. We had something like this in library school but this is far more user friendly and accessible.
