#12 Rollyo

http://rollyo.com/librarystep/finding_books/

Rollyo has been a very fun site to visit and learn about, I listed the sites I use a lot when searching for authors and books for people. However, I find that it is easier to list the sites in my favorites and search from that. But as I said it was fun to visit and learn about.

# 11 Library Thing

I created an account at Library Thing and catalogued some of my favorite holiday romances.
If you want to keep up with what you had read you could make a list to keep up with it.

#10 Online Image Generators

http://www.zefrank.com/snowflake/ This is the snowflake that I created. Have fun making your own snowflakes. Just click on the link. I tried to copy my snowflake but all you could see was a black blog so I deleted the picture.

# 9 Finding Feeds

The first site I explored was Topix.net. I chose the Offbeat news stories and found one about a Welsch police chief who broke into his own office to test the security system. It seems that he climbed a scaffold and entered through an open window. My question is why was the window left open? How strange! I found Topix.net very easy to use.

The next site I visited was Technorati where I entered a search on library. I found one blog called Library Crunch. It showed 2 library signs asking people not to use the cell phone in the library. One was positive and the other was very negative. This site is a little too busy for my taste.

I tried to access Feedster, but it took too long to load.

# 8 bloglines

I found some interesting sites to explore. Most of my feeds will either help me at work or school or give my family some fun with local information. My brother in Floirda may like to check the news in Murfreesboro.

A great lesson.

# 7 Digital Archives

Photograph of Mary Hannah Johnson, the first librarian of the Carnegie Library in Nashville, Tennessee, circa 1905.

I enjoyed browsing the Nashville Public Library Digital Collection. There were many interesting pictures to choose from and I decided that an old fashion librarian was perfect for a modern day blog.

I found the site easy to use.

#6 Magazine created in Flickr

Being a parent posters are a part of my life. Today I wanted to create one for myself using motivational posters using Flickr Toys. The process was simple and easy to follow.
