Thing 4: Online Communities

Today I explored Facebook.  I found some friends who were trying to find me, but I was lost until I learned how to join Online Communities!  I couldn't believe there were so many people out there!  This is a great way to keep in touch...

We are planning to begin our own Library Facebook Page soon!  I am sure there are many more ways to connect faculty, students, and staff with our resources.

Thing 3: Photo Sharing

Today I opened a Flickr account, uploaded photos from Flickr using the Blog It link in the Share This menu!  I am exhausted and emotionally drained!  I plan to share some pictures of the Library in the near future.  Stay tuned.

Thing 2: RSS

First of all, RSS  being confusing is grossly underestimated!  My first try was totally disastrous and I had to hire a tutor!  (only kidding).

I signed up for Google Reader and subscribed to several blogs:  Shelties (for my assistant, Mikey), Cooking, Learn with CDLC and two participants' blogs.  Then I was able to arrange them into folders.  Now when  I want to keep up to date on all of my blogs, I just have to go to one website.  I THINK that was the point of this lesson.  Now, I just  hope I remember all this tomorrow!
