Lesson 2

Using your twitter to be helpful to others. Now there's and idea. I will have to work on that one.

Lesson 2

I am twittering, wishing my twitters were half as clever as Tony from Zappos. I am learning my way around the twitter world. Navigation is a time consuming process. I will chip away at it, whenever I get time between librarian duties.

Assignment Two of Lesson One

I set up to instant message with Irene from Butte. She was not able to participate this week so I have been intstant messaging with my niece in Michigan and updating my facebook that I created as part of last years challenge. I have used instant messaging in the past to contact support departments for computer problems etc. It really comes in handy and you don't have to sit waiting on the phone.
I have used the online training in the past. I really like how easy it is to take a live class from your computer! I learned that I prefer the VOIP to conference calling. VOIP has less interference and backround noise.
Since my son ordered a brand new head set with microphone, I think I will try Skype at home.

Assingment One

Our library uses e-mail everyday. Our patrons can e-mail us with requests for books, ILL's, what is the next book on their book club list etc. We also receive request via e-mail from all over the world (o.k. really only Norway) for geneology information.
E-mail is also used for library business, such as ordering, shipping confirmation etc.
Wired-MT keeps us in the loop both here in Montana and all over library land.
Our library has not started to use Instant Messaging or text messaging yet. We are always open to new ideas and would use those tools if needed.

Left over from last years challenge

Here is a left over lesson from last year, my Avatar. Last years was better but lost somewhere so here is the new one. I noticed they do not provide wrinkles so if you see me in person please don't be shocked! Jacque Scott Assistant Librarian in Big Timber.
