Task 23. Feedback about the program

I did enjoy this program. I am happy that I had an opportunity to focus on my personal and professional development, learning Web 2.0 tools. I think it is only beginning for me, I will go back to many tools to improve what I've learned already. In my opinion, principles of Library 2.0 are to put users in touch with information and entertainment wherever they may be.
Blogs and Wikis nice tools for socialising. Librarians can create blogs for communication with different user groups. Google Talk, it is another communication tool. I think library can use this tool as part of their online reference suit to offer users more ways to reach them. I like Library Thing tool, you can get recommendation about books. You Tube we can use as a marketing technique for promoting our services. I think, Google Scholar is wonderful tool for research.

Task 22 Exploring various web based communication tools

At home I am using Skype and It is fantastic , you can talk to person from another country and it cost you nothing only Internet access, and I have camera at my computer so we can see each other. But if the person who you want to contact doesn't have a computer, anyway you can contact him using Skype and it cost you a little.

Now about Google Talk, I think it can be very useful tool for reference queries. I signed in to Google Talk and added Google Talk widget to my Google account an to my Blog.

Task 21. Find and listen to a Podcast

I signed up to Podcast.com and choosed 'FOX News Radio', than I pasted URL to Box 'Add subscribtion' on my Google reader. Now I can listen FOX News.

Task 20. Watch You Tube videos

I looked around You Tube and found many videos about library staff. Some of them interesting.
I liked this one, it's title 'Library Manifesto' you can find it on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhoCxQyBxvk

About task 19.

I decided to add picture of my nephew with his lovely dog on Pet's page. It seems for me it looks OK.

Task 19 Put a photo of your pet on the wiki.

I found a photo of my nephew with his dog, resized this photo, logged into VU Wikibrary, and decided to create my own page, i named this page '23 things' and inserted this photo.

Task 18 . Sharing mine Library 2.0 esperience.

I love Encore, new Web 2.0 interface to library catalogue and I love Library Thing, which allows to catalogue your own titles and find people with similar reading tastes. Sometimes for students and teachers it is useful to know what kind of reading is good to prepare for some tasks, so people can make comments.I think it is a good way for book recommendation. Google Docs it is a good way of sharing your document with other people. Blogs are very good way for communication. On blogs people can publish news, events and discussions. I think, this new technology like Library 2.o makes library more accessible for users.
