Can you believe its already two weeks away from the end of class??
I can't! It seems like just yesterday that classes started! This semester has FLOWN by!
This session was a good session. I learned some facts that weren't 100% new, but still good to know. I like the troubleshooting tips on the last page right before the review questions.
Web 2.0 projects and other stuff...
I am a bit behind in the Web 2.0 projects... I am now questioning my decision to use Second Life. It is more a pain than anything else. And library thing is very time consuming! But I signed up for them so I have every intention of following through.
I know that this week I will really be working hard on them- because I am going on vacation on Friday to Sunday. I know its a short one, but it is very much so I needed.
Where am I going? Well I'm going with some girlfriends to a two day Christian Music Festival called Agape Fest in Greenville Illinois. My favorite band of all time NEEDTOBREATHE (and yes their name is in all caps) is headlining the first day. AND we are camping out. So it's an understatement to say that I am excited and stoked for this trip! It will be beyond epic!
Ok, that's all I got. Tomorrow or rather later on today is Easter Sunday and I have church to go to. I hope everyone has a stupendous Easter!
As always- keep doin what you do you crazy library people!

Only 3 More to Go!
Hey all!
Aren't you excited? We only have three more weeks and class is done!! Woo hoo! I for one am ready for Summer Break! There are so many fun things that I plan on doing for the summer that I can't wait to get it started!
But that is not what I am supposed to be talking about in this post- so I'll get back on topic.
This week's subject matter: it wasn't super brand new. I found that I knew about security measures and such by my time volunteering, working and just plain hanging out in libraries. (It's all the power of perception baby! Just kidding, but not really...)
Nonetheless, I did enjoy this lesson. It was rather easy to learn and understand- for which I am very grateful. All in all I would say this session has been a successful one..
Now my projects?
I'm working very slowly it seems. I could lie but I'm not going to- my motivation level is down. I have no doubt that I will finish on time and successfully- but the journey is taking longer than I thought it would. Oh well, c'est la vie.
Hang in there- we're almost done and as always keep it sassy you crazy library people!

Web 2.0 Photo Sharing
It's here!
What you may ask?
It's the long awaited picture slideshow of my beloved Fortville-Vernon Township Library- of course!
If the pictures aren't that great- I apologize. I have many talents, photography I don't think is one of them. Even in all its flawedness (I just made that word up), I hope you enjoy it!
Hang in there you crazy library people! There is more Web 2.0 to come! (Please try to contain your excitement, I don't want to have to call the riot police again!)

Session 12 Recap
Sigh..
This week has been CRAZY! I pretty much doubled the amount of hours I worked this week from my normal amount... I worked so much because I'm going on a mini vacation at the end of this month and I'm saving up to get a small truck. So I really needed the hours and money!
And let's just say that it is an understatement to say that I am tired.
I said that to say this:
I didn't really dig deep into this week's lesson. I tried to get into it as much as I could but I ran on pretty much 4-6 hours, if that, of sleep a night and got up early for me..so it was a bit difficult.
The information that was introduced wasn't new since we already read this week's chapter. At least I already read this week's chapter.
As for my projects I'm still working on them. I actually forgot about them briefly. I plan on finishing them up soon though.
Alright guys, I am so tired that I don't have anything witty to say.
So until next time- get some sleep you crazy library people.

Assistive Technology
So..
Another week another update..
This week's (week 11)reading was interesting. I learned a lot about the different tools and aides that can be used to help patrons who have disabilities.
Some of the technologies were quite fascinating. Screen Reader anyone? I was impressed by the helpful tools that are out there. I liked this week's reading. I think that this week's reading will be in the top 10 of most helpful and informational of the assigned readings.
I'm extremely tired so that's gonna have to be all for me..
My bed is calling my name for a much needed Kah-nap..
As always stay sayucy you crazy library peoples!
