Twitter

I did not like twitter. I found it confusing and difficult to navigate.  Libraries could use twitter as form of communication for employees to stay in touch out of work, also the library could create a twitter profile and update patrons about construction projects, closings, reserves, etc.

I found my favorite books very easily. I enjoyed using this site. I was also able to discover new books by different authors.

Locating the pod cast was easy, but I do not like all the steps you have to go through just to get the pod cast.

This YouTube video is about to plant flowers. I liked the video because it was very simple. I am not a gardening person; but this video took me through it step by step. I have used YouTube before, and I keep returning to it. I like the site for many reasons. It is very easy to navigate, you can clearly see the video and its length before you watch it, and you can also see how many times it was view and see what other viewers thought of it.

when i look at this picture i do not see a bunch of flowers that look the same, i see each individual flower and all of their differences. when patrons look at library workers, they might or might not know that we have our titles, but they also might not know we have individual working styles.
