Wiki

Wiki was easy to use, I've experimented with it before on Wikipedia.org. I also had experience with it at a former job, we had a Wiki network to look up things and give information to employees. 
I posted the Wiki restaurant review on Rosati's.

Reflection

I think as social media is expanding and changing almost everyone and everything is getting on board with it as well. Social media makes keeping in touch and staying connected a more integral part of you like and definitely makes things easier. Libraries are using them to keep up with the public, let them know what is going on and let them stay connected.
I mentioned that I think they should be doing podcasting of Storytimes, possibly making 'how-to' videos, and also should have a works cited aid for those that are still in school or making presentations.
I learned about more social media and tools that I can use to simplify my life and help me out. I especially like the convenience of it all and the simplicity it offers.
This was a great program and very interesting and helpful!

User Choice- Noodle Tools

So while I was in college, I wrote numerous papers and did many many projects. While I was researching on the school's library research pages I found Noodle Tools.
This allows you to input information to do an online citation easily. You enter what information it asks for and it generates a works cited page or a bibliography and stores in online on the website. You can actually make a bunch of a bunch of citings and it stores them all so you can re access them and check them out as you please. It also formats it according to MLA or APA and formats it for printing. You can also save it to your computer or print it.
This is a great tool for students or anyone writing papers or making presentations and don't want to worry about plagiarizing.
All you need to do to get started is go to: http://www.noodletools.com/login.php 
and create an account and it takes you step by step throughout the process.
I think this tool would be great to have access to on the library website or on the computers in the library to help people.

Podcasting

I have listened to a few podcasts before that I was interested in. The one I got was a downloaded clip of a recap with a start player after a basketball game. I liked the quality and the fact that you download it and have full access to it so you could play it in the car on the way to work or at home as you please.
More and more I hear of colleges doing this which is cool so they can share the lectures with more students and faculty, but also for whomever wants to listen to it especially those doing research on the given topic.
I think our library would benefit from it by doing podcasts of the Storytimes throughout the day for people that couldn't make it.

Hulu

I have used Hulu before and love it. It gives you access to a bunch of movies, documentaries, and TV shows from a web device. I used to work nights that my favorite TV shows were on so later I would get on Hulu and watch them to stay caught up.
Downside to this is that there are commercials on it every so often and that the library of media is limited but does change from time to time.
I think people will continue to buy or rent videos because they want to have a hard copy of it to watch whenever they want to, but also so that they won't have to rely on internet service and speed.

YouTube

I LOVE YOUTUBE! I find myself spending hours upon hours watching entertaining videos on there. I'm actually on YouTube in a few videos but we really don't need to worry about those. :)
The videos that I watched were pretty interesting and helpful, some more than others.
I think it could be helpful for librarians to make 'how to' videos and post them on YouTube especially for complicated research or referencing things maybe by doing screen shots and talking throughout it. Even citing videos would be really helpful. I've actually heard you can get some money for doing instructional videos like this so it could be a small source for income for the library/librarians as well. Also, it would raise awareness and create publicity for the library. Our library could benefit by maybe posting Storytime videos from time to time on there.

Music Streaming

I have used Pandora for years and love the concept of it. Easy access on the go with iPhone apps and being able to access if from any Internet accessible computer is great. It made me made that they are trying to restrict the amount of music that a user can listen to per month AND how they only allowed to yo skip a few songs an hour, but also that sometimes you can't actually pick the specific song that you wanted to hear. I like that it allows you to make a station based on the genre, artist, song, or album that you like and that it recommends other artists or songs that are similar. I actually have found myself listening to other artists that I have never heard of before. I think that Pandora should allow users to make actual playlists down to the song choice and allow more skipped songs per hour.
I think people will continue to purchase albums, singles, and music when they find something they really like. For example, when my favorite artist comes out with a new album I know I could listen to it online for free but I WANT it so I can put it on my iPod/iPhone and my laptop to enjoy.
The whole idea of this is great and it helps with piracy of music! :) Gotta keep John Mayer fed and making music!
