One of my pages that I am monitoring through Delicious is Library Success: A Best Practices Wiki. One recent change of the page was of the nature of QR Codes. Here is the link for those interested: http://www.libsuccess.org/index.php?title=QR_Codes. QR Codes are quick reference codes and are utilized by smart-phones. The phone scans a 2-dimensional bar-code that directs them to a website or application with the code's data. I can imagine that this would be quite helpful with special delivery services. There is no use of a wand which would simplify matters. There are suggestive readings for those interested.

The other website that I have chosen to follow is WebJunction. They are taking policies and procedures submissions for discussion and comparison. Here is the link if you are interested: http://www.webjunction.org/mobile-devices/-/articles/content/120643671. As an owner of a Kindle, I am highly interested in this subject matter. I am looking forward to Amazon coming out with the Lending Library that will enable Kindle users to check out library materials.

I also enjoyed our Creative Commons assignment. It was difficult at first and I did experience some browser issues. However, after consulting with Ms. Griffith, we managed to figure it out. I enjoyed visiting everyone's pages. Frank's patriotism, Sandra's sober naturalism, Joshua's haunting, Jessica's Requiem, and Rachel's computer cat all demonstrated how sound can augment photo's and bring the reader deeper into one's blog. This is why I selected to continue in my studies here at Ivy Tech and it is worth the effort!
