week 9 eAudiobooks
a whole world of stories available to listen to.....FANTASTIC http://worldebookfair.com/Mp3eBooks.htm
eAudiobooks increases a libraries collection tenfold without being hindered by any physical restraints, eg. shelving/building size. Collections can remain current with greater variety. Little library services could offer a more complete range within their collections such as LOTE. Remote communities would be able to enjoy ebooks and not worry about having to return them

week 9:podcasts
this is a link to a podcast from podcast alley on fitness. Any topic you are interested in seems to have a podcast about it. Library customers can access podcasts on authors, books they are interested in and on libraries in general. This is one more way of using the web to gather information. I have put an rss feed for a podcast into my bloglines account. Free downloadable programs like Audacity enables anyone to make a podcast.the web makes learning an even playing field.

week 9 podcasts, video and downloadable audio

Youtubes most prominent feature seems to be to have fun while you learn. Its application in the library can be for research purposes, exposure to new ideas in the library world or just purely for the customers entertainment. The youtube link above is for an author and his latest pop-up books. Pop-books are fantastic even though their life span in a public library may not be the longest.

week 8: web 2.0 awards
http://www.lulu.com/ this is a free site where you can publish a book, buy a book and sell a book. It is also a social connecting site and can help you get employment in the book world.
Another winner in the 2.0 awards is 'google docs and spreadsheets'. It is similar to zoho writer. Using google docs 'notebook' means you can access 'bookmark' info that you have noted down for future reference while at work, as well as any other info that you want to deal with later from any internet service at any time and place
