Thing #23 YEAH!!!!!!! My thoughts

First of all I want to say KUDOS to the many people who put this tutorial together. Very concise and helpful. To me it was an enjoyable journey, sometime frought with pitfalls, but mostly enjoyable. Some of the exercises were more geared for the librarians than for the clerks, but it is okay that we at least have some knowledge of the programs and don't sound like complete idiots to future patrons.

Another thing I would like to note, some of us worked as a team which was cool, and I thought that it brought the department closer together. I would also like to thank the blog leaders here at YMPL for being so helpful.....of course working in the same department as the leaders did hurt us any!!!

Working with the pictures, bringing over videos and such from the internet was very exciting. As I said in my blog for the #22 thing, I am so thoroughly excited about the audio books. I listen to book on tape in my car, with these audio books to download on my MP3player, there will be such a LARGER variety to choose from, plus they won't be as cumbersome.

I would definitely be interested if another discovery program was offered in the future.

Thing #22 Audio books

I am so excited to be able to do this. I really can't wait to get started. I have looked around on our web page, checking out what we have available in audio. This a really amazing. I understand that there are some issues regarding space available on the MP3 player, but we will cross that bridge when we get to it.

Thing #21 Podcast

I visited various sights. I like the posibility of real time podcast. Checked out a couple of current event sights, interesting. I will visit these sights again
