Thing # 10 part 3



This was easy too, just a little different language. I could use this on my library webapge...maybe marking new arrivals or interesting things going on or for info on the book club meetings etc...

Thing 10 part 2



I got image from the comic one...it was easy. Still looking.

Thing # 10

Well, it's trial and error. Before Thing 10 was posted I tried on my own to look at online image generators...not really having any idea what they were. This 3D site came up and I downloaded a 15 day trial and my time is almost up, so I thought I'd try it...hmmm guess it didn't work:) Sure looked good on my computer screen. Now I guess I'll try some of the ones that were posted for us. I'll be back soon...

Thing # 9

I think I need a another group discovery day. You know where we're all working and searching, but Debbie and Mary are there to tell us what we're doing wrong. I have been trying to search for library blogs. I have subscribed to two library related blogs...Brian Unbound and Not So Distant Future. The news feeds were easy and I am enjoying reading those. I didn't really think any of the ones listed on # 9 were easy to search. One was under construction and the others I found info, but not info about being able to subscribe to them. When I did think I found something it was an email update link.
I must not quite understand which ones can be subscribed to, or maybe there are a bunch out there that you can't. So, this post is part one of #9...just so you know I'm working on it and my next post will be when I figure out what's going on:)

Fun Mash Up

I just did a fun mash up on the Law and Order CI website (click here)
It was fun putting it together...try it. Mine is named My Favs by Margaret. They were supposed to send me a link, but I haven't gotten it yet. Once I do I'll post it for all to see.

Thing # 8

I set up my RSS on Google Reader, on my own I set up the DallasNews and tried to do my church and a couple of other websites I like, but they didn't have the link. So, I went ahead and the the pre-arranged ones and yes, I got stuff I didn't want. There is a way to remove the unwanted subscriptions. I went to the link for Library Journal and only found the page to subscribe to the magazine, not the link for RSS. If anyone can help me with that I'd appreciate it. Once I get that I could use it to keep updated on reviews and trends that would help me with keeping the collection up to date.
The personal links like sports, you tube, entertainment etc...will waste my time I'm sure:)
BTW...my daughter is the top sales rep for the Dallas News so far in 2007. Right now she's in recruitment advertising, but will move to a different dept. next month.
