Exploration 5 It's a Library Thing

I joined GoodReads since several of my colleagues are members. I find it easy to ouse. It is good for people that want to share books and comments or reviews. I use it to keep track of my books so that I can remember them to suggest to patrons. I used to keep these on index cards. But this is better since my handwriting is getting worse. I didn't see a place to send an RSS feed. It appears that to add friends they must already be a member of GoodReads or of one of the sites like Yahoo or Gmail, etc. This is a good option for our patrons like Discoveries.

Setting up this link to my blog was going well until I could not find "Blog This." After some searching I finally found it by clicking on the photo first. I'm glad the instructions were provided. Anyway, this should be a nice way to share photos with friends and family. I have been doing this through CVS and Kodak photo sites because I like to order prints. I would not use any online site to store my photos because I don't want to take the chance that the site will go out of business. I am very happy to learn how to set up this account.
It would be good to share photos with the library's patrons. We have lots of programming activities and events like the SCO renovation that can be shared with the public to keep them iinformed. Every now and then someone will send a photo in email of furniture or supplies that are being given away. This would be a good way to use this among staff. It will also be nice to have the photos of all the Trustees or even staff t and PTHs to share. Maybe some day.
