Task 7 - Sampling of Reader Resources

So I just checked out the Boulder Goodreads, it was really interesting. I think something like that would be beneficial for library, but I don't think it could replace anything, but it might help it a little.
I also loved the AllReaders resource! In my opinion it way better than the other 4, it was so much easier to search stuff and follow. Now something like that would be awesome on our homepage, i know we have novelist, but AllReaders might be easier!


Cheers!!!

So ready for my Vacation

Task 6 - ORE tutorials

So I totally LOVED the the customer service 123.
It really helped me in how I help my patrons. They are so right, most people are really not going to ask for help! But if you look approachable and ask first, they just might let you answer their questions! If anything, show them one of the OPAC's to help them look stuff for themselves, maybe that would make it easier on them.
Wow, that was a great task!

Task 5 - Holds

Okay, so that was actually pretty different from what I'm use to. I was expecting just to breeze right through it, but it actually took some time to figure it out.
I'm so use to doing holds from our system where you have more control, but in my honest opinion 'My library account' was a little easier for me to do numerous holds on. I don't know if it just looks a little more like our own system or what, but that's defiantly the one I prefer.
I also didn't realize that that one defaults to their home library, I wonder if that's why we have to many people choose the wrong location and need their holds sent to the Library they actually wanted!?
Later 4 now,

Task 4 - Facebook

Oh my gosh! I LOVE the Library's Facebook page, it's so cool. I've never actually seen it before. I thought the OM pictures were fantastic.
The coca-cola page was cute, but I'm more of a Pepsi person - LoL. I did notice that they had 3.591.034 fans, which is a ton! So maybe I'm the last Pepsi person in the world, well diet Pepsi now! LoL
At first I was kind of skeptical about going on Facebook, but I got on about five or six months ago and I really understand why it's so popular! I can totally see why the Library, coca-cola and all the way up to the President would have their own page. You can keep up with so many people at once! I have found so many long lost friends, found out about vital things I never knew and have gotten so much support, just through one website.
Okay, well this is my last post for now! Come on Nancy, I'm SO ready for the next 4!!!!!!!!!

Task 3 - Library hunt

So this morning, I did my library hunt before we opened. I was amazed at how much I really did have to look up. I ended up only missing 1 out of 15, which is SO not that bad!!! A 93 pretty much rocks and those of you with a 100 are just overachievers! LOL :)
I am really liking this blogging thing, but I guess that's because I love to write so much! Okay, now I'm off to do task number 4 - facebook! It should be really fun.

Cheers!!!!!!!

Task 2 - Pandora

Okay, Okay, so I kinda love Pandora now! I hadn't had much experience until today, but I really like that you can choose almost any type of music and access it anywhere! That kinda rocks!!!! I could find all the stuff I normally couldn't elsewhere. Yay, I'm movin up in my generation :)

Task 1 - Creating my first Blog - YAY

Yay!!!! I finally can start blogging! Whoo Hoo
