The END

Hi All,
My favorite was librarything and delicious. This was an eye-opening experience for learning something online. Most of the exercises were doable, but as you can see from my blog the last two I was not able to do part of the assignment. This was very disheartening. Improvements would include more step-by-step, less figuring out what to do. We all have our interests, but it would be nice to have a starting point and more direction on how to accomplish each task. I learned a great deal about what is available on the web and can see some use for the tools in the library. I would choose to participate again. I hope I can find some assistance on the Podcast assignment, than I can say I have made it through SPL 2.0.

Librivox

Hi,
Well Librivox is right up there with Podcasts, very confusing and hard to download the New Releases Podcast and so forth. I really would need more time to figure out what to do on this site. It is hard to know if we use ogg vorbis to download. This was very confusing.

Podcasts

Hi, this was a frustrating ordeal and I still have not been able to subscribe to an RSS Feed, because I cannot get any podcast to work. I am so close to being done with this training that this is very troubling. I have tried every option and still I cannot get anything to play, much less subscribe to.

Podcasts

The directories are asking for a Windows Media Player download. Is this okay to download? The podcast I was interested in will not download. Any suggestions? Do these take time to download? This is frustrating.

Smithsonian Global Sound

Hi Everybody,
Wow! Even on the lowest volume setting the music was crystal clear. Ear Buds from Staff Day? Where did I stash those? I chose one of the quickest songs to play. This would certainly make my assignments go faster, because when I was in school, the radio was always blasting when I did my homework. Music has always been a stress reliever for me (snowy roads, long commutes, and housework). Thanks for adding this to our library catalog.

Web 2.0 Tools

Hi,
I checked out the personal organization category. Of the three top choices, I really liked voo2do. It gave me a sample of what the calendar and notes looked like. I am a visual person, so this helped a lot. http://voo2do.com/. Enjoy exploring this.
