Conclusion

I can not believe that I have finished all 20 objectives of my staff learning experience. I really enjoyed this project and I hope that there will be more in the future. I learned about a lot of websites, that I enjoyed, that I never would have known existed. I have also shared some of these websites with family, friends, and even patrons of the library. I hope everyone had as much fun with this project as I did. Once again, Thank You for the staff learning experience!

Library Websites

I went to several websites of other librarys. I went to the laurens county library website at www.lcpl.org and noticed that they had a reader's advisory blog where you could get reading suggestions. They also had links to the SC State library, Greenville library, and Spartanbury library on their homepage. I then went to the greenville library website at www.greenvillelibrary.org. Their homepage seemed to be cluttered. I then went to the Spartanburg library website at www.infodepot.org where I found that you can download audio books from their website. I do like our website the most because we offer so much information and everything is well catagorized. The only thing that I would add to our website is being able to download audio books like the Spartanburg website. #20

Movieflix and Blinkxx

I really liked these websites and I will definatley be visiting them again. In movies, under comedys, I found Made For Each Other starring Carol Lombard & James Stewart, under westerns, I found Sheriff of Tombstone starring Roy Rogers, Gabby Hayes & Trigger, which I could not believe. Then under cartoons I found betty boop, jack frost, and little red hen. I shared these websites with my children, family, and friends. #18 and #19

Yahoo

I have had my yahoo page for years. I have my own layout with my local news and weather. I also have sports, entertainment, business, health, and personal finance. I also have a yahoo email account that shows on my yahoo page when I have new mail. I use this as my home page on my home computer. #17

Wikipedia

Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia where you can go to find information of any topic. However, I think what makes this encyclopedia site so unusual is that you can go into pages and edit. The children seem to love this website. I did do some editing and played around in the sandbox. I, myself, am not sure I would depend a on encyclopedia website that can be edited. #16

Podscope

Podscope is suspose to be a website where you can search spoken word of audio and video that interests you. I had fun with the website, but I believe I still prefer youtube. #15

Bookmarklets

Bookmarklets are tools that extend the surf and search capabilities of netscape and explorer web browsers. They allow you to modify the way you see someone elses webpage and allow you to do searches more quickly. One of the special tools that I found was the Auto Scroll, where you could scroll pages automatically. #13
