#18 Discovery Task Tiny Url and Zamar

Well this task didn't take too long to do at all- I went into u tube videos and pulled up the video of the jeep commercial from last year, where the dude is driving the jeep and the animals and the dude start singing "rock me gently" I have loved that since it came out.

Whew! finally after about 1/2 an hour I was able to figure out how zamar worked, it took me awhile to figure it out, but once I did- it was pretty cool- I downloaded of all things, you guessed it- a daschund puppy-it was the cutest little doggie...

Discovery Task #17: :Library Professional Sites

I did this task and found some very interesting sites on this webolution assignment. The first site that caught my eye was the 100 best sites for librarians of the future, there are sites like "Paper Cuts" which keep you up on new authors-the "Bilingual Librarian" which is all about collections and systems that make the world's top libraries special. I thought 100 sites were a little too many to go into all at once- but its nice to see that its out there.

Discovery Task #16 Open Office

ll finally was able to find some time and experiment with open office- I think it is a great soft ware package, I loved playing the little sound bites that you clicked on- it was fun to listen to each of those. I think this is great to let our patrons know that it is free and available to them- without having to pay for it. I will experiment with open office when I have more time to do so.

#15 Task Clip

I was not able to clip anything when I experimented with this task, I worked on it for a couple of hours, but it didn't ever work for me, so really not sure what I did wrong. I was able to highlight what I wanted clipped- but when I went to do it, nothing happened.
Hopefully task #16 will be better.

Task #14 Downloads

Finally!!! Got to finish task #14- I had never downloaded and audio book before, and now that I did I intend to get speakers and sound hooked back up to my computer at home- I think it would be fun to listen to a book when I am folding laundry, or doing dishes. I thought it was easy to do!! Since I have completed this task, guess I will go and check in books.

Discovery Task #13 Music Downloads

I had fun doing sound snap- very interesting with all the sounds they provide- it was fun to pull up dogs barking, cats purring, children giggling. Not sure how I would use the sounds at the library- but I thought it was pretty neat, to pull different things up and listen to them.
