Task #10 New Website

Hello Everyone or just Cari if you're the only reading this (I suspect you might be):

I looked through the footer and thought that maybe we were missing Jobs - but then I saw Join our team so it seems that all the information is there. It's very straightforward, nothing confusing. I think that this will be an easier way for our patrons to find information on our website. Most websites have these type of footers and I think that most people are used to this format. At least I know that if I want to find something I just scroll to the bottom and I usually find it.


Also - if all my postings could go towards the gift card that would be great!!! Thanks Cari!

Task #9 Universal Class

Hi Everyone,

I have registered for the class and was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to get set up and to sign up for a class. As for a staff training you could probably have everyone take the same course and after a time period look at everyone's results.

Task #8: Espanol Libguide

Hello Everyone,

I got 100% on the Espanol guide it was awesome! I would use this libguide to show our locations and hours and all the many resources to the Spanish speaking community!

Task #7: Cloud Computing - Google Docs and Drop box

Hi Everybody,

After watching the videos and reading the article, I would continue using Google Docs (I don't really like the fact that you have to download something to the computer that you are using to use Dropbox). I really like that I can access my documents, pictures, and videos plus e-mail from any computer with internet access. It's super convenient to send all my stuff to a digital account instead of cramping my computer with so many things that I don't want to lose but don't need to look at every day. I will definitely tell patrons who use the computer downstairs about Google Docs, since I get a lot of requests for USB drives and complaints about losing information.

Task #6: Helping Patrons

Hi Everyone,

1. I completed the quiz

2. Happy to say I got them all right!!  - I don't think I would have remembered every thing we offer a patron (on the spot) if it wasn't in multiple choice form though!

3.If a patron needed help setting up a resume what would you offer them?
a) Show them the  Optimal Resume Link b) Book a Librarian
c) Go to the OPAC and request items on Resume Writing
d) Write it for them
e)Combine choices a, b, and c

Extra Credit #2 - Google A Day

Hi Everybody,

I went to Google A Day and  found it pretty interesting! Since, I couldn't figure out the answer I clicked on Submit and now I think I'm hooked (I'm going to keep trying past entries until I get one right!!!).

I want to have this entry put into the giftcard!!

Task #5: Chilton Library

Hi Everyone,

I went into the Chilton Library and looked up my personal awesome vehicle!! The process was super easy - like super duper easy! What I loved about it was the Bulletin area - pretty handy dandy stuff and even if you're not planning to do repairs for yourself you can print stuff out and show your mechanic so they don't screw stuff up!

Overall Experience: Pretty Awesome!
