method 7

I can see using this for tagging my own websites that I use often. Not so much for sharing them with others.

Click on site for K-12 databases used by Texas libraries, students, teachers, students and their parents!

This site is used mainly for entertainment purposes, however I tried to put the K-12 databases video on my blog, I was only able to put in the URL. Someone would be able to click on the link above to see the video on how they might use the K-12 databases in the library.

I love this feature. I look forward to playing around with this method. I agree with the legal problems of posting pictures of patrons.

They appealed to me because they pertain to library interests.

Method 3

I agree with the statement, "I think the more important role for libraries right now is to teach users about these types of services, in no small part so that we can help them understand the potential consequences. Because if you teach a patron to use an online documents site and she puts her resume there and something goes wrong with it, that’s a very real data loss for that person."
Overall, Iwould say that I am more excited and a little cautious/skeptical about cloud computing.

Methods 1 and 2

I'm interested in learning "12 things" to help me be more informed in today's emerging technologies to enhance the library experience. I've created by own personal blog in the past but then didn't keep up with it. My goal is to create a blog for my library and then use that to inform my patrons of library news and information.
