Module #5 Flickr

I have never used Flickr before this exercise. I was able to look through tons of pictures, whether they were personal ones that everyday people took, ones taken by professionals, or even propaganda that was created in different eras throughout history. I looked for pictures dealing with WWII and Navy. Rosie the Riveter is one of my favorites and I found it on Flickr so I thought I would share it here. :)

Module #4 RSS: Advanced Exercises

Creating folders in RSS makes the Reader easier to follow and find items within certain topics according to folders. I created a TCPL folder that holds all my links for the library, and a News Headline folder that allows me put all my news related links together in one convenient spot. I am also planning to make a sports one to keep track of sports related news and headlines. So not only is everything in one spot on the reader, but now it easier to keep track of your subscriptions through folders.

Module #4 RSS Feeds

RSS is a convenient thing to have because all the top pages you visit you can put them all into one place. It will save time from having to search everything on each page to find the highlights. I plan to use this for top news stories, since from one sites I added I can choose to have the headlines in my Reader. Having the links for the Library will be beneficial to know what upcoming events are and information about different books from the book clique one. Libraries can use this to get out events/book info to the public in an easy way, where people are not having to sift through all the pages of our website.

Test Blog Module and Link #3

I am interested in learning about Flickr and being able to share my photos with others. It is always nice to be able to have one spot where people can go and see all your photos, right now I use facebook for that.  I am also interested in learning how to set up the virtual bookshelves because I have never seen or heard of those before. 23 things will be a good opportunity to  fine tune some of these things I already have knowledge of and to learn how to do others that I have had no previous contact with.


Here is the link I added to help me get back to the 23 things webpage quicker.
