WorldCat
WorldCat is awesome! The search features are really great and easy to navigate. I like the way it brings up the locations where it is available based on your zip code. I definitely think it will help in filling out the Request For Materials form and helping customers find things that we don't have in our system.
NetLibrary
I found NetLibrary very easy to set up, I would be able help someone set it up with no problem. Unless you know specifically what you are looking for, I didn't find it very easy to search with. I don't think I would use it unless that was the only way I could read a book I needed. Reading books staring at a computer screen does not really appeal to me though.

Library Thing Awesome!!
I absolutely love it! I have finally found something I can really appreciate. I love to read. I have trouble keeping track of what I have read at times and what to read next. I think this will be a great resource. I'm really liking LibraryThing! Four out of my five books were popular. Alot of good comments. I'm looking forward to exploring it some more!
Technology Unadvanced
I always knew that I was not up on the latest technology, but I never realized how far behind I was until this challenge. I am learning alot through all the confusion. I have a computer at home to do all of this stuff, I just don't have the time to put into it. There are so many amazing things you can do today. I just appreciate that I don't have to change the film after 24 exposures anymore. I do love my digital camera!
Finding Feeds
This exercise was exploring a few search tools for finding RSS feeds. I thought Topix.net and Technorati were the most user friendly. Syndic8 was the not so easy to navigate.
RSS Feeding Me Info
I was able to create a bloglines account fairly easily. I found some RSS feeds for sites the I already frequent. So having that available in my bloglines I thought was pretty neat!
Pants Tab Program
My grandmother volunteered to sew all of the purses that the TAB kids got to decorate. She had a great time doing it, from the photo I would say the kids enjoyed it as well!
