Quest Twelve

Podcasts

I checked out Podcast.net and Yahoo podcast. When searching for library news, I found a great site through podcast.net. The site is called Sirsi Dynis Institute. It provides videos that instruct librarians on Teen instant messaging and gaming, coaching your employees, a beginners guide to poscasting and much more. I didn't find much in Yahoo podcast. when searching book review podcasts, Yahoo podcast provided the New York book review and a children's book review. Podcast.net didn't provide up to date book reviews.

Quest twelve

YouTube




I picked this video because it reminds me of my son. This is something he would do. He has been skateboarding for fifteen years and traveling all over the United States to different skate parks. I enjoyed watching videos of famous singers like Elton John. I liked how public libraries used YouTube for advertising thier summer reading programs. I think a great young adult program would be to have them make a video of themselves and post it in YouTube. Cool!!

Bob Dylan Post

I liked the Bob Dylan website. I sent a message to my daughter and she loved it. This is a cool way to advertise. I don't like most of the advertisements on websites because they are too busy and interferes with what your trying to read, but this one is great. It definitely caught my attention. I think this type of advertisement would grab the attention of our young adult patrons.

Quest Eleven Part 2

Someone Special

Someone who cares, someone who listens, someone who loves you,

Someone who I trust, someone who is my hero,

Someone who I think is the best person in the whole world,

Someone who knows how you feel, someone who is my role model,

Someone who knows how to make me feel safe.

To me this must be someone pretty special,

That someone must be you.

Quest Eleven

These online apps are great. I know I will be using Zoho Writer. I like being able to save something from home and be able to access it from work without worrying about a floppy disc or a USB port. I used the word program to type one of my daughters poems she wrote as a teenager.

Quest Ten

I liked the slideroll website the best. I am excited about creating a slide show of family pictures and sending it to family members. I also enjoyed the dogster website.

Quest Nine

I like being able to set up a wiki website without being technology savvy or knowledge of HTML. I would not use wiki for reference questions, but I do like them for book clubs and pathfinders. I think setting up a book club wiki for summer reading like the Princeton Public Library did is a great idea. I found several books I would like to read. I thought the Library Success: A Best Practice Wiki is a great resource website. I especially liked the resources provided for programming and readers advisory.
