I think I'm fnished!

I am not sure how I feel about "23 things". There is a great deal of material here to take in. Some is interesting, some I probably will not use again but I won't look completely stumped if someone is asking about it.I love the website with pictures,Flickr and Del.icio.us. they can be rather addictive. I had a rather bumpy start so that may have made a difference in my work here but I feel better having completed it. Thanks Jennifer for all your support. You did good!

Picasa

I love Picasa! It is so easy and I have a great library of pics that I can copy, send, blog or whatever. It is a very versitile program and all my pics here are the product of Picasa.

We are in good company

My Picture from Flickr is a selection from the architecture of the Library of Congress and other libraries in Washington DC. It is rather a humbling experience. I wish I could take credit for it but it was snapped by takomabibelot. See her works and pictures by others at:

Enjoy!

Technorati
Can't help myself I went to the beach again. There were a lot of choices listed under the tags beaches, vacations etc. So it was great to see. I also can see how it would help to have a watchlist if you were a student or a writer. Tag your interests or subjects on your list to help in research etc. I may not use it again but it was interesting to see.

 

Not ALL work

Here is my daughter on the way to the beach. No not in Itlay here on the shore but it's still great! Must be the company.

 

A del.icio.us beach

Caprera Island, Sardinia, Italy

The vibe: La dolce vita meets Euro bling.

Picture this: A subdued day haunt just off Sardinia's ultrachic Costa Smeralda, Caprera Island's secluded bays and secret coves call out for skinny-dipping or a beach picnic for two. One of seven islands in the Maddalena archipelago, and now a national park, the beaches are gently bathed by the cobalt Tyrrhenian Sea.

The crowd: The Costa Smeralda is all about supertoned divas in teeny-weeny Missoni bikinis and Italian industrialists in oversized Prada sunglasses—but out here you'll be sharing nature with the abundant seabirds.

The sundowner: Cocktails on the speedboat. Try an Earl of Sardinia: crème de cassis, Campari, grapefruit juice, pineapple, and grenadine.

Where ARE we going???

Reading the articles found in Web 2.0 I am discouraged and yet encouraged. Discouraged that more people are not reading the great books in our "just in case" collection. I agree withRick Anderson (Away from the "icebergs"),our monoploy power of information has indeed shifted and we need to prepare ourselves for the future. While this will mean a great deal of innovative ideas on the part of Librarians and staff we should embrace this opportunity to "get on the boat" with the rest of the world and not be left behind.
So I am encouraged that we recognize the problem and that is a big step toward solving it. This is not a new problem by any means. It has been experienced by educators, politicians,businesses and parents. How to keep up with the constant demand of change. So while we may not be leading the way we are all in the same boat to the destination of knowledge and information and thats a good thing! Blog on!

Library Things

Wow this was so easy, probably because I love selecting books, reading books, suggesting books etc. I find I am character driven so if there is a character I like I read every book. I am very loyal to my favorite authors. If they haven't written anything lately I will go to fantastic fiction check out other authors writing similar material. My favorite thing is to find a new author that has tons of material that I haven't read yet! Guess I'm in the right field.
