I like the guided format. Like a lot of folks unless there is a somewhat formal format I won't necessarily go looking for the some of the things we were introduced to.

There were activities that I'll probably never use but I think it is important that I am aware they are out there since I never would have gone looking for them and if I happened upon them I probably would not have paid any attention to them.

I appreciate the time and effort that went into bringing this to us and would welcome other such programs in the future.

You should be proud of the program. No matter what individual staff thought of it, the program did open channels of communication. GOOD JOB!

I've used netlibrary for ebooks. I use overdrive to download audio books because I have dial-up and netlibrary takes too long to download and I always end up loosing the connection and what has downloaded. But with overdrive I can download the audio book in parts over an extended period of time. I currently have about 10 books on my one MP3 player and 3 on my other MP3 player - have to save room for music and pictures. I think it is great that we offer this service and would like to see even more titles made available. As soon as I ditch dial-up I'll be downloading netlibrary audio books.

Podcasting could be a great way for LCPl to do a book talk. Then patrons and staf could listen at their leisure. We could explore the right to podcast some of our programs. I listened to several book discussions. It was interesting. I probably won't seek out podcasts. I'd much rather have the discussion with my friends - much more lively.

YouTube is okay but like a lot of things on the Internet it can turn into a huge time waster. I viewed several different videos. But this one os of note http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFPRLNA9Tz0 and is dedicated to my co-worker.

YouTube could be used for training or recording programs or recording book talks.

Naturally, I checked out the books category. There were no winners but several honorable mentions. I looked a a couple before trying out Reader2. The first title I searched came back with very childish tags (crapaddictive mental-illness smut). I may not have cared for the book but the childish nature of some who can stay behind the wall of the Internet was evident with this posting. I did search another title and was intrigued by some of the what to read next suggestions. From the list of about 20 titles I have read all but two of the titles but was suprised by some titles on the list. The reader's comments were interesting. I doubt that I'll ever use this myself.

I used Google since I already have an account. This has been useful when I've not had access to Word. I've used it when traveling. I like it much better than OpenOffice. I'm so use to Word that I have to remember the subtle differences

Don't think I'll ever use this. I'm not that interested in most of these blogs.
