Making Progress!

I've completed the Explorations 5 and 6. These were fun and the activities I can see as being the most useful to us on the job.
I chose to stay with Goodreads and I do find that listing my titles, both read and to-read, is great for keeping my reading activities organized. I actually recommended this site to a patron last week who asked if the library keeps a list of all the tiltles she checked out!!
The online office tools exercise with Zoho was fun and very easy. I had problems with changing font, but everything else worked just fine . This was also a website, along with GoogleDocs, which I was able to recommend to a patron. Very satisfying!
Okay, now I need to signoff here so I can add to my Goodreads list! Enjoy Thanksgiving!!

This is the first time I am using this website to create a document. On the surface it seems really cool. I tried creating a doc in GoogleDocs and it was harder to figure out how to make changes to a document. Maybe it's because I used one of their templates and it was created in Excel, of which I have very little experience.

• Why I love Granada
• Breathtaking view of the city from Alhambra
• gorgeous mountain peaks
• friendly people on the bus
• spectacular gardens and roses and fountains

rating: 4 of 5 stars.
I love historical fiction. This author has brought to life Juana, the daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella. Anyone interested in Spanish history will enjoy the details, the intrigue, and the struggles of this last queen of Castile.

Expanding My Horizons: Librarything or Goodreads

My Web Exploration 5 :
I played around with Librarything and set up an account. Then I decided I liked the Goodreads site better so I set up an account there! I feel I can definitely benefit from the ease with which I can organize my own reading right on the website.
I also read the LJ article entitled "2.0 for Readers", and enjoyed the explanation of interactive Readers' Advisory capability on these sites. I particularly liked the way the article showcased the public libraries that use these sites as an integral part of their homepages.
Library patrons can definitely benefit from all the sharing that these sites afford. It really is fun and captivating to see the titles and covers of your particular favorite genre.

Oh so much to read and so little time!
