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."

Feed Readers

I was able to read todays Newsday articles about Long Island. Usually, I just go to Newsday's homepage. I'm not exactly sure why a feed reader is helpful.

Library Thing

I created a Library Thing account with 3 books in my catalog. It is a good way to keep track of your reading list. I checked on our catalog for the title 7th Heaven. I no longer see words that have been tagged. I only see words under the subject catagories. +

Flickr

I created a flickr account showing photos from the Chihuly exhibit at the Desert Botanical Gardens in Phoenix.

Delicious Experience

I took a good look at Delicious and tried to post a website: Top Restaurants on Long Island.
The website is www.toprestaurants.com/li.htm. I had trouble posting this website
