MLA CE Week 6


Here is a photo of Bushart Gardens on Vancouver Island. I've managed the upload, but not from Kodak EasyShare Gallery, where I was able to rotate it. I had to load from my computer and don't see how to do anything here but change the size. Sorry. I did get it loaded on Facebook.
There is actually a video tour of my library on our corporate web site at www.exempla.org. If we had a web site for our library alone, we could put photos of activities, new books, new databases, journals, etc.

MLA CE Week 5

I've worked for big corporations for several years and have become accustomed to the Microsoft Office suite. It's great to know that there are office tools readily available on the Web. It makes sense to think that the Web is the future home for software. The word "software" may itself become obsolete and have only historical significance.

MLA CE Week 4

Del.icio.us account established. It could be used to tag consumer health sites in place of the favorites bookmark list because of its potential to go long and deep with the tagging. This could replace my 3-ring binder. I also like it for personal use to research sites related to various interests.

MLA CE Week 3

I liked the Linkedin format because it is for professionals. It could be used to keep in touch with out-of-state colleagues. I think our library would find a wiki or blog more useful than a Facebook or MySpace page.
