Welcome

Welcome to my blogsite. It is called Aquarius after my zodiac sign. One thing that caught my attention is Mary's invitation to have the incentive to brag and show off some tech skills that I will be acquiring once I finish doing the 23 things. I intend to do just that - organize and document the thousands of photographs I have accumulated over time through travels here and abroad. One of my hobbies is scrapbooking but I have not done it for a couple of years now, so the photographs have piled up. I think to continue doing it manually now will take me forever to organize them, so I have no recourse but go electronic. Way to go Web 2.0!

Online videos and Podcasts

The craze on YouTube has not caught up upon me yet, but with our discovery activity on this exciting video sharing tool and the likes, I am beginning to get interested. I had the chance to see the short videos from the Marymount College website and I thought they are very good starting point for prospective students to get information about the college straight from the people that teach and the people that learn - teachers and students. I checked other school sites that produce similar informational videos about their libraries and I was thinking this could be a good way of promoting our library - who we are, what resources we have, and what services we do for the college community.
