Search Vs. Navigation

I looked at all four and of course did searches on my cats. On Bing - I typed in the cats name - Libris Jenny - and two pictures of her popped up. On Lexxe - I looked at cat info and found some erroneous info, but it was probably the person inputting the information.

I like the look of Lexxe when doing a search. It is easier to read then a Google or Yahoo search - it comes across as cleaner looking.

Mobile Web 2.0

The information on the mobile websites was really cool. Having information at your fingertips is the way to go. No more stopping to go through a phone book that in all likely hood has pages torn out.

Social Networking

Twitter could be used to advertise the new releases of dvds, books, cds. I did sign up for a twiiter account but need the time to go back and really learn more about. I do have friends that have Facebook and My Space accounts, but for the time being I think I will pass. To much info is given out and then you have all of the creeps out there lurking around.

Welcome To Learn 2.5

When I first heard about SL, I wasn't really sure about it. Now that I have some information, it sounds really interesting. Kathryn participated in a quilt show, I was thinking along the lines of participating in a Sl Cat Show.

Dark Side Of The Web - Internet Malware

The information was very informative and timely to me. I now have a computer at home and will be getting internet access shortly. It is very scary that someone out there lurking on the internet and get your info and take you to the cleaners.

Life Long Learning 2.0

The old saying goes that we are never to old to stop learning. And with the internet that is so true. You can sign up for classes on the internet and get a degree. We all know colleagues at OCLS that have taken this opportunity to get their degrees.

You also can learn fun things. I went to ehow and looked up pets. There is all kinds of new information that I can use with my hobby of showing cats.

OCLS and Library 2.0

Orlando Memory is important to the community and to myself. Years from now all of us will be able to go back and view what has taken place. There may be posts and pictures posted that you could not find else where. While browsing through Orlando Memories, I saw a picture posted for Gary's Duck Inn. I never ate there, but remember hearing about it and and it was neat to see a picture.

The Strategic Plan has one aspect about connecting the community to our services. By going out and doing outreach, I am able to let the community know what services their library has to offer. It is amazing the number of people that are not aware of the services we have to offer. One example would be the Books by Mail program.
