LIBR 246-12: Web 2.0 and Social Networking Tools (Fall 2008)

Last Reflections

1. How has your view of social software changed since starting the course?

I do not know if my view of social software has changed. However, I have gotten a lot of new insight into these programs and I am now starting to use them. I now have a Facebook page, and I did not have that before this class. Delicious is an awesome tool as well.

Notify.me

This is a neat looking software that allows you to sorts and sends your RSS feeds by subject in whatever manner you want. You can get the latest Iphone news txted right to your phone. It even alerts you through instant messaging client.

This is a great little service could be very useful if you find that all the rss posts are starting to pile up. This at least allows you to organize in a manner you wish.

Yes we do. In today’s world you need policies because there are people out there who will do the wrong thing. I am sorry, but it true. It only takes one bad apple to spoil the bunch and when it does, who gets in trouble.

Take in point this case.

I learned that at when is going to do something, you should do it well. And you should know your audience.  I think it is great that libraries are trying to reach out and touch their communities.  I am even a bigger believer of you (the institution) going to the clientele and giving them what they want or even creating a want in the community.

The Ohio University libraries podcast library tour is a great idea to introduce the library. This is a wonderful way to give library instructions to new students. If I would have had this type of service at my college library when I was a college student, it would have been an asset for my school life. The podcast in the library provides patrons service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I listened to Dr. Main’s message regarding spring 2009 registration.
