#7... Instant Messaging
2a. I haven't really used much IM. My daughter was home and set up Yahoo messaging, I did not realize that she did this on my home computer, and the next time I was on line, a little man popped up at said .... signed in. Well it happened to be my nephew so I started chatting with him. I don't forsee me using IM on a daily basis. As far as using it in the Library, I don't see the staff using it, but we do see a lot of patrons (especially teens) using it. It may be popular, but just not for me. In the future maybe?? Who knows!!

#7 ...Web 2.0 Communication Tools
1. E-mail... As everyone else, I have a number of e-mail accounts. I have hotmail - for family, as I have all the addresses in my address book, so if you are not in my address book, sorry you cannot send me mail. Eliminates all the SPAM !! I also have my library e-mail, g-mail for my blog, yahoo for Flickr, and iglide.net as that is where I am getting my home internet service. So.. to remember all these passwords can be challenging. But where would we be without e-mail?? I remember when my daughter was in college, I would
e-mail her every Tuesday. So she expected the message, just like going to the mailbox and expecting a letter every Tuesday. Great way to keep in touch.

#6...Online Image Generator
I could definitely have loads of fun with this program. I love being creative with pictures. I might have to go back to my daughters wedding pictures and see what I can create with them. I did not know that these programs existed and were free!! I can see where this program will be helpful at the Library in flyers, brochures and just getting out information in a creative way. My first step is to purchase a digital camera for Library use. And then have some fun!!
