SUMMARY

I can't say enough about how glad I am that I took this course. There is so much "out there" that I still don't know, but at least now I feel like I fit into the 21st century.

Library Lady is superb with her clever comments, witty rebuttals, and extensive knowledge...you should really consider writing as a first or second career.

Melissa is superb as well with her extensive knowledge, wonderful enthusiasm and great teaching.

I have learned so much and will continue using quite a few of the sites that we were exposed to.

Looking forward to the graduation party.......Should I bring the Sangria from our WIKI assignment? *wink* :-)) In answer to you question on my blog LL....It will be red wine with lots of fruit, some Triple Sec and a splash of gingerale...maybe some umbrella's to top it off....mmmm

Thanks for a wonderful course.

CATALOGING/LIBRARYTHING

http://www.librarything.com/catalog/carolmaundercogeco.

Right now I am reading Light A Penny Candle by Maeve Binchy and I'm loving it. I do enjoy her story telling.

I think Librarything is a better social networking tool than facebook in regards to meeting like minded people..not so much for finding lost friends of course. So in terms of the social network factor, I would use this site more than facebook...doesn't seem as potentially "harmful"..but I could be wrong. I found it very easy to use, though I don't know why people want to keep track of the books they have already read?? I can see it being a great way to get feedback on books I'm interested in reading, searching for books ect. It's a great site..

RSS FEEDS

I can't think of any websites that I want info. from on a daily basis, therefore, for the lesson only I decided to subscribe to a TV show that I tape...."Diners, Drive-Inns and Dives..http://www.foodnetwork.com/diners-drive-ins-and-dives/index.html......love the show...soooo jealous that this "Guy" not only gets paid to eat all kinds of great looking food, but he travels all over the world.

The other feed is a Maeve Binchy website...http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/b/maeve-binchy/..I don't read a lot of fiction, but I really enjoy her books, and this site will update on new releases.

I'm always glad to learn that there are sites like this around. However, for me, it's not a site that I will frequent in the near future. If there comes a time where I want daily updates on a subject, I might go back.

I can't figure out how to delete some of the sites I subscribed to.."L?"....otherwise, I found adding sites very easy.

You Tube Task Correction/Embedding

Just wanted to Correct the size of my Embedding on the You Tube Task, and show Melissa that her instructions at the drop in last month were helpful....I just couldn't figure out how to paste the correct sized image into the the same spot, so I didn't bother..but now I'm bothering just to show I can do it. (ego) :=))
