Summary

WOW! I never thought I would make it to this point. Although I approached each task with apprehension and dread, this entire exercise forced me to learn about and try things I had never heard of before such as Google Docs.
I am grateful for the experience and grateful that I have completed it.

Google Docs

For this exercise, I downloaded a Power Point template entitled Natural green: http://docs.google.com/Presentation?docid=dtpnf94_55cchzk69p&hl=en.

This ability is great.

Craigs List

When money is no object you can search Craigs List for a summer beach house to rent in the Hamptons. Here's what I found:

The Ultimate Hamptons Beach House Rental - Bridgehampton

Wiki

From Wikis In The Workplace: How Wikis Can Help Manage Knowledge In Library Reference Service, I discovered that Ward Cunningham created the Wiki in 1995. Wiki is a Hawaiian term for quick.
I read parts of the PALS wiki and appreciated the visual instructions on the Millennium Serials Manual. Librarians will like the PALS Known Issues - Resolved, Pending and Unresolved.
Librarians can also keep informed about new features to the Web Opac such as "Forgot Your Password."
I was not impressed by the Book Lovers Wiki. It didn't seem current. The St. Joseph County Public Library Wiki of Subject Guides seemed very helpful.

FEEDS

I searched for information on Syndic8.com, Techmorati and used Blogline's Search Tool where I found beautiful pictures of villas for rent in Greece should I ever become wealthy. I read the news on Google Reader.

Feeds

I found a link to RSS right on our Library's homepage. It features new adult fiction and new non-fiction, new DVD's, new music and library programs. It also features new items in Childrens and Young Adults. I further found a Directors RSS and a Staff RSS. Feeds are also available on the staff catalog under Quick Links.
Once patrons know about this feature I believe they will find it very useful for discovering the new items our library has added to our collection. I don't know enough about this to suggest an improvement.

Suffolk Wave

I checked out a book from Suffolk Wave entitled: Pieces of My Heart - A Life by Robert J. Wagner. Unlike the rest of the modern world, I do not have a computer at home or an MP3 player. I tried to download this book onto the staff computer however the message reads "Windows doesn't recognize this file type."
