On my way to Web 2.0

Yesterday, I was able to view my first webcast. As part of the 23 Things Challenge, I viewed the InforPeople webcast, Web 2.0; What Library Managers Need to Know. I learned about blogs, wikis, RSS feeds, podcasts and social networking. #3 is completed

Today I registered by blog with InfoPeople and explored Fickr. I set up an account in Flickr and had some difficulty figuring out how to download a picture. It was easy to locate them. Our adult librarian, Chris Edwards, who has completed the challenge, showed me how to save the pictures to my hard drive and then to my Flickr account. I will continue with this tomorrow by bringing a CD with library pictures and trying to add some of these pictures to my Flickr account. Then I'll organize them. This will be very helpful with press releases and publicity for library programing. I will also use this with two of my hobbies, photography and scrapbooking. I have recently purchases my first digital camera. I will be using Flickr. #4 is completed.
