Week 8: Flickr

I don't use Flickr because I no longer have a Yahoo account. I think that I would prefer to create an album in Facebook. I sometimes feel overwhelmed by too many seperate applications. I like applications that have multiple uses. Here is a link to a photo that I like on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alfredng/624558336/ It is a photo of the convention center in Montreal or Le Palais des congrès de Montréal. I attended a conference there in 2009.

Week 7: Sharing Slide Presentations

I posted a SlideShare presentation to my blog that I saw at the Canadian Library Association conference in Montreal last year. It is about the power of play.

I haven't created a presentation in SlideShare yet but I can see where it would be useful. It's nice that it has so many publishing and sharing options.

Week 6: Chat

I have experimented with Google Chat and Second Life chat at work. I noticed that it is also available on Facebook but I haven't used it. My husband will begin traveling out of the country soon for work so we will probably use some form of chat to save on long distance phone costs!

Once a week I cover LRC Live for an hour. I wish that I could say better things about it but my experience has been that it is somewhat slow and I've never been able to get the co-browse function to work well.

TCC has added the LRC Live Qwidget to the library homepage. I think the Qwidget looks more inviting. I believe that right now it is limited to when a VCCS librarian is currently on LRC Live, however.
