Spring Cleaning #30 : Take a Load off our Drives

I went to the S drive and copied and dragged a folder to my folder and then deleted it. I never used the P and S drives so I had nothing to delete. I could not find the Z drive on the workroom computer.

Spring Cleaning #29 : Email

I already have an email address on my computer at home so I don't want one here.
My email here was quite full, with 100 emails to sort through. I learned how to make
folders so I created several, like circ policy, phone policies, supplies etc. and
cleaned them out. I also deleted my trash.

Spring Cleaning #28 : Don't clutter cyperspace

I set up the Google calendar. It seems to have a lot of features. I really don't know if I will use it much because I don't have that much time to donate to the computer at work if it isn't for work.
Maybe it would be good for reminding me when to place supply orders.

Week 10: 23 Is this really the end?

I'v really enjoyed these exercises in roaming the web. It made me a little more aware of how much there is that I don't know about it. The weeks I enjoyed the most were the avatars, the books and the Youtube. Myspace is not for me. One thing I will keep on enjoying is the Library Elf. I like the way it is set up with my whole account on one screen. My son has been a lot of help and I am impressed by the easy way he gets around the web. Flicka was fun and probalbly something I'll use in the future. The world seems to becoming more and more dependent on the internet so it's important that we don't get left behind. We do our banking and shopping on line now. Also any question can be answered in minutes. People can visit friends and relatives on the other side of the country or the other side of the world and share their thoughts and pictures instantly. Of course, the news is full of the ugly and evil side of the internet also. My mother, who is in her 80's, is to afraid to even touch a computer. I think the good far outweights the bad and it certainly here to stay.

Week 9: # 22 Downloadable Media

Last Christmas I got a MP-3 player. I made sure it was one that was compatable with the library's eBooks. I looked at LibriVox's offering and they were mostly classic and books by authors I didn't known. When I went to the Wowlo site, my McAfee Security Software went a little crazy, warning me of possible danger to my computer. I like HCPL's eBooks. They have a good selection of new tiltes with many of my favorite authors. I also like the brief discriptions of the books.

Week 9: #21 Podcasts YarnCraft Podcast

I looked around at the podcast sites. Most of them are music which does not interest me. I found some audio book downloads that are kind of expensive. I'd rather get them from HCPL. I found some library news podcast but truthfully, I don't care what the libraries in Canada or Nebraska are doing. Finally found a podcast about yarns that seemed fun. The website is called www.yarncraft.lionbrand.com
