Networks

Networks can be overwhelming, yet this weeks reading simplified everything and made it usable information. I particularly was happy to read about the wireless issues and authentication; though, I have to say that finding out why I can log into more than one computer at a time at school made a lot of sense.

My wiki source this week was over mobile access to libraries and I have managed to locate a video that demonstrates a little about this.

My project that I have selected is to create a user guide for checking out a laptop from the lrc. It is yet in the working and I have to wrap it up for submission. I wish everyone luck on their projects.

This week in Library Success: A Best Practices Wiki, I discovered that M-Library means Mobile Library through a recent update link. There are suggested readings listed here: http://www.libsuccess.org/index.php?title=M-Libraries. On WebJunction the top story was on technology planning and the 21st century. Everything that we had discussed through our readings was present in this article. There was also an article on applications on MicroSoft, blogging, and Facebook. It appears that we are right on schedule with this website. Here is the link if you want to check it out yourself: http://www.webjunction.org/1.

Last week we were notified of Overdrive becoming compatible with Kindle Readers. I have to say that I have been waiting for this. I cannot wait for the opportunity to get to my local library and discuss all of the details with staff there. This is such a wonderful event to see come into the workings.

I wish everyone a good weekend!
