I learned a lot through this course and will be going back to the sites again and again. Thank you for giving us something that we can really use in our libraries.

Thing 23

You can tell that something has been modified by looking at the credits and acknowledgements. Copyright is an area that is very difficult and being diligent about use is very important. The music and movie industry is struggling with it as well as many other artists and creative people and industries. The Creative Commons site was very informative and interesting.

Thing 22

I have used eBooks quite a lot. Through POWER Library we have access to netLibrary and I have found it very useful for patrons and myself. It is great to have access to resources that, with a limited budget, I could never afford to have available to students and faculty. I have also used Gutenberg and it is a great, FREE resource. When I think back to when I was in high school and college and compare it to all the resources available now, it is truly amazing.

Thing 21

M 5.7, East Timor region

Podcasts are blocked where I work and I cannot access from home so this exercise was a little more difficult to do. I read about podcasts and I think they would be useful to update students about school events and activities going on. I think at some point the blocking in our location will have to be looked at because this technology isn't coming, it is here.

Thing 20




I chose this video because, again, I love Jane Austen and I like this version of Persuasion very much.

The thing that I don't like about YouTube is all of the junk and inappropriate stuff that we have to be careful of in schools. You cannot turn students loose. It has to be very supervised by the teacher. I think having various presentations, how to use instructions, author talks or interviews, etc would be a good addition to library web sites. It also is easy to use which is always a good thing (Thing 15) and increases the use of anything in general.

I found several discussions about Jane Austen novels and books that have Jane Austen references and other books to read if you like Jane Austen. I was interested in all of them.

This would be great to use with a reading club or elective English class on popular fiction

and a lot of other categories/groupings. I will go back to this source. I really liked it.
