It was sometimes frustrating but mostly entertaining and ultimately rewarding. I liked using Library Thing and creating the Avatar was way big fun. Technology is a wonderful thing especially in the information seeking business. But I cannot tell a lie. I would rather spend my time reading a good book.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8170871880737396807-5074184963766233508?l=maggiesthings.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>maggiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18264905277688661708noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8170871880737396807.post-20201721449948772942007-11-20T12:23:00.000-08:002007-11-20T12:29:13.303-08:00I explored Overdrive, Netlibrary and Project Gutenburg. Netlibrary had a wonderful tutorial. They were all user friendly but Project Gutenburg was the easiest.I found the most entertaining and unexpected entry on Project Gutenburg "human-read". Human-read was pretty much what I assumed to be the norm.<br /><br />I will definitely use these sites the next time I fly.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8170871880737396807-2020172144994877294?l=maggiesthings.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>maggiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18264905277688661708noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8170871880737396807.post-52891137830749757662007-11-20T11:55:00.000-08:002007-11-20T12:01:30.994-08:00I found this research a little bit frustrating because I seem to lack the appropriate plugins to upload some podcasts. I preferred using podcast.net and podcastalley.com. <br />I found a book and poetry site on podcast.net that looks interesting.<br /><br />http://www.podcast.net/rss/cat/130<br /><br />The merlin podcasting site was the most fun. I listened to an interview with Arlo Guthrie and Family from Kankakee Library.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8170871880737396807-5289113783074975766?l=maggiesthings.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>maggiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18264905277688661708noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8170871880737396807.post-7597580082569306952007-11-19T13:11:00.000-08:002007-11-21T07:21:14.704-08:00I explored 3 video sites.
