Things 18 part2

This is my attempt to use Googledoc to make a spreadsheet.
I find this easier to use then Zohowriter.

#18 Take a look at some online productivity tools

The following is from an original ZOHOwriter document



This unit should prove useful and interesting. I have received a HPmini webbook as a birthday present and was curious if Googledoc would work there since the mini comes with nothing but web surfing capabilities. I am going to try both Zohowriter and Googledoc just to compare them. With both sites, I was able to save, copy and then print out documents. Both sites have plenty of tools, templates etc... to use. I probably will end up using Googledoc just because both my daughters use it. It will be easier for me to learn just one system.

#17 Add an entry into the Sandbox Wiki created with PB Wiki

PB Wiki Tour -
PBWiki Video Gallery - both these two resources are Not Found. My attempts to log in to the Sandbox Wiki is also not successful. I tried all the combination of the provided password with no success.

#16 Learn about wikis

and discover some innovative ways that libraries are using them

When I tried to start this unit last week, the amount of information from the first resource reading (Lamb, Brian. "Wide Open Spaces: Wikis, Ready or Not." Educause Review. Sept/Oct 2004.) was so much that I decided to print everything out and read them on paper a little at a time. Later, when I was ready to read them, I somehow started with "A Wiki as a Research Guide" by Chad Boeninger, which is much easier to understand and made reading the other three articles easier to follow. I found the best explanation and instructions to set up or use any wiki in the Library Success: A Best Practices Wiki site. I used to think of Wiki as an open chat room type bulletin board but now think that they could be very handy tools. Use in libraries could be for : subject guides, annotating catalog, community wiki, FOL wiki. More specifically, we can have a branch wiki, circulation problems wiki ( media problem, even supplies sharing), troubleshooting equipment wiki etc... of course all should be password protected. Of the exemples shown, the SJCPL Subject Guides,the OCLC Open WorldCat at http://www.oclc.org/productworks/wcwiki.htm are all very interesting
