Google Documents

It was easy to try out Google documents and the calendars. Yes, they are handy..would I use them? Probably not. The good old kitchen calendar is still the thing my family and I use. Just easier that way, plus my life isn't busy enough that I have to try to keep track of my appointments electronically.
Google documents...again, easy to look up and use if I need to. Might try it one of these days..

Flickr and You Tube

I was familiar with both Flickr and You Tube before this assignment and I find them easy to use. However I am glad that I was able to spend a little bit more time exploring them and learning new things about both the sites.

RSS

I can see how RSS feeds could be very useful and interesting. I have signed up for 2 or 3 and I look forward in the coming days to see what comes to me and if it works well I will sign up for more!

Goggle Assignment

I love Google. I use it to look up books that customers ask me for that I can not find in the catalogue - they usually have mistakes in the title - and Google fixes them so that I can find them in the our catalogue.

I use Google Maps to find directions.

I use Google to find information on when a customer asks me things that I really have no idea what they are talking about - so that I can find information for them in our collection.

I checked out a few new things while exploring and intend to use them now I have seen them.

Cpl 2.0 - Facebook

Facebook for me is not useful and I would never use it or have any interest in it if it were not for this assignment. I am not a big social networking person - I still prefer to speak to my frinds on the phone or contact them by letter. Maybe it is my age!

Wikipedia - Assignment 3

I have used Wikipedia in the past but I really don't trust it - due to the fact that anyone can edit it. I have used it as a back up reference source and probably will continue to do so.

It is not hard to find articles and the ones that I did check the spelling and grammar appeared to be correct.

Delicious

After checking out Delicious - and spending some time with it - I really didn't find it all that useful. I will use it on occasion to check for information now that I know that CPL staff have checked it for accuracy and for up to date info as another source.
