Overdrive

Overdrive experience--What a great service for our patrons. And the selection covers all ages and all interests. I was particularly impressed with the choice of radio classics! My favorite authors were there, with a great selection of title available.

delicious

I really didn't find it that helpful. Every subject that I explored in delicious, wasn't what I wanted. I would think that this would be a help to patrons doing research, looking for personal experiences.

Wiki Woo

Wikis would be a great way to solve a problem, whether within your workgroup or within the whole system. It would also be a great way to plan a trip or a big function. Seems like it would save a lot of time and energy.

Libraries seem like a natural setting for Wikis, but how do we trust the information if anyone can sign in a change it?

youtube, etc

I checked out youtube at home over the weekend. Checked out the CSU girl's softball incident that happened. There were many entries. I found it to be a little like searching Google, too many choices and took too long to find just what I wanted.
Patrons are always asking questions about movies, especially who starred in a certain movie, do we have the DVD of a particular title, and what movies did ??? star in? Fancast and Hula will be a big help for those questions.

youtube, hulu, fancast

Who has time to watch and listen to all of this? If I had the time, I would have watched the tv shows in the first place!! I see plenty of youtube in my email from a cousin.
