Week 5 - Thing 10

I created an avatar. I could spend (waste) a lot of time playing with it.
Anyway here I am. It looks eerily like me when I'm wearing my glasses!

Week 5 - Thing 11

I love Library Thing. I discovered it during my spring class.
I cataloged my Elizabeth Peters Amelia Peabody books.

Week 5 - Thing 12

I can see how Rollyo could be a really useful tool. Here's mine: http://www.rollyo.com/rgoetz/

It's not very exciting. I hope to have more time to work on it later.

Week 4 - Thing 8 & Thing 9

I just set up my Bloglines account and found some "library related" feeds to receive. Is the Daily Show considered library related? I guess not. The Shifted Librarian, Readers Club, and Library Bytes sound interesting. If you don't already receive the comic strip Unshelved, I would recommend it.

Week 3 - Thing 7 (technologically speaking)

I just added some music to my MP3 player -- so cool!

On a completely different topic, apparently if my Clarion teacher logs on to Blackboard, she would be crossing the picket line. Who knew there could be virtual picket lines, too?

Week 3 - Thing 5 & Thing 6

A picture to remind me of vacation. A week is just not long enough.

So cool that you could make your own postage stamps in Flickr!

The Mashups are a neat idea, if they work. I had some trouble getting images to load in the Flickr Montagr or finding good ones to make a recognizable montage.

The Library Trading Cards are fun, too. I'll have to take a digital picture sometime so I can make one.
