Library 2.0
I had the opportunity to teach library 2.0 skills to a group of WONDERFUL Region XI librarians, and boy did we have fun! Not only did we get to look at websites, but count em....over EIGHT accounts for everyone was created!! There are all library 2.0, and I'm sure that these tools will become part of their bag of tricks for the library.
I asked a question....about 15 years ago, how did libraries publicize who or what they are or did? Did you put out cardboard signs? Word of Mouth? Thin

Podcasting debut!
Going to put up about 6 podcasts tomorrow, and I'm set! Now all I have to do is a digital booktalk...next technology hurdle. Haven't added anything in awhile, but have a few books to talk about

Trying to keep up! Work, books, technology and more....ay!
I thought after moving closer by 100 miles I'd be more perky in the evening, but jeesh! I get home and start cooking, reading, trying to do homework, blah blah blah, and all I want to do for fun is sudoku instead. I guess I use up my perky quotient at school, but can't help it....
The ESC II workshop in Victoria is cancelled until the spring, and I'll be doing one in Corpus next fall. I've enjoyed doing these, and when I visited Region XI and XII, I got really good response on this YA

It's all about YA
… ContinueI have gotten down and dirty reading all the galleys I picked up at TLA. I'm going to do a presentation at Region XI in a couple of weeks on YA, booktalks and blogs, and I'm off to the races to get at least 10 more books read by the middle of this month. Galleys I'd recommend:
Waves by Sharon Dogar
Right Behind You by Gail Giles
The Alchemyst by Michael Scott
I'll start I Love You Beth Cooper by Larry Doyle tomorrow,

Hope you are doing great! I'll have to look for your presentation at Region XI-I'd love to attend-my students always benefit from all of your presentations and I love to come to them!
You sound as busy as ever. I'm still working on getting rid of white walls. Had to semi justify ttyl somewhat after Mr. C forwarded us all the negative press the title received in South Texas.

Love to hear from you!
Take care.
