YouTube

I think YouTube is a brilliant site. I see lots of potential for use with the Library, and Virginia Wilson's new YouTube video on the Murray Library is a good example of what can be done. Way to go Virginia!

I saw Jeff Dunham last night....

Prezi

Hmmmmmm......kind of catchy graphics, but not sure that I'd dedicate the time to learn it thoroughly when Powerpoint is still out there, and doing a pretty good job!

Google Docs

I have used Google Docs for work a couple of times, but only after the documents were created by someone else.  It was useful to have to create one from scratch....easy and potentially very useful, especially when collaborating with colleagues off campus....

RSS Feeds & Google Reader

I'm responsible for the Current Research column in the Journal of the Canadian Health Libraries Association, so keep track of the Tables of Contents for the journals in the field of medical librarianship.  That's really handy!  I also think it's very useful for personal reasons.  If I'm after a certain item on EBay, I set up my search within EBay, and create an RSS for it.  That way whenever an item comes up that fits my criteria, I'm alerted!  Far less hassle than continuously checking eBay....

Blogging

I have used blogging in a rather limited way already. 

IGoogle

interesting and fun way to bring together different applications....got me starting to think about a start page for Nursing, and wondering if LibGuides offers this type of versatility....
