Conclusion!

At the conclusion of the Internet Technology class, yes we can do more then just ordinary email and searching. In the ten years I have used a computer, as they say, we have come a long way. I am amazed at all of the new 23 things I have learned in the last nine weeks. I hope to use at least some of the programs I have used during the class.
Thank you for the opportunity to improve my computer knowledge.

NetLibrary


I downloaded a book from NetLibrary to the desktop on my computer.
The book I am downloading as I post this message on my blog is, "Forever Young: My Friendship with John F. Kennedy Jr. by Noonan and William Sylvester and Robert Huber.
Our Llano Library has a subscription to NetLibrary to download eAudio books.
The NetLibrary, eAudio books are very popular with our patrons. Patrons who have to drive long distances, download eAudio books to their computers and then sync the eAudio books to their MP3 players.

Pod Casting

I visited the Librarian Live, listened to Librarian Live Episode 66- The Boomer Generation: What are they looking for: boomers have higher standards, library must be clean and bright and library must look nice. Informational messages via podcasting can promote our libraries.

I found the site http://www.cnn.com/services/ podcasting to be very interesting and will subscribe to this podcast.

Photos from a trip to the park. We love to hike and watch nature, while on a recent visit to the park, a Tufted Titmouse was very entertaining when it ate Girl Scout trail mix out of our hand.
