History and food!

This was awesome! I loved the way you could look back in time and see life as it was and learn historical things long forgotten. I traveled in time to the 1930, 40's, 50's. This will be living history for students doing research or just browsing. So nice. The cooking temp for pork is 160, that could be very helpful for a culinary student or young cooks just learning. Very informative.

OPAC

Just finished searching the new OPAC, I put 3 holds on DVD's each was easy to understand if you take you time and read. When I put Upstairs Downstairs on hold I couldn't figure out how to put a specfic season on hold, but I kept looking until I found what to do. It is quite different than what we are used to but I think it will be wonderful once we get used to it. I found that I could put things on DVD instead of VHS and narrow down my search. It was quite fun.

Overdrive!!

Wow, I finally did it. With Neal's help. Off of overdrive I downloaded a Louis Lamour book. Now I'm going to get my mp3 and see if I can put it on there and listen to it. I think I can help someone else now (maybe). It was fun.

April, 2010

I found the Optimal Resume to be a little daunting at first, but as I kept trying it began to flow. There are many helpful boxes that you can look at to know what an employer wants and what will get there attention. This can be very helpful to all of us who need to help others or ourselves.

Tests!

Tests are not my favorites, but I did look up what it took to be a realtor. I was surprised what is expected and what it takes to be succeed in a very competitive business, especially in the economy that home selling is facing. Also to save you and the buyers time that they need to be preapproved loan from a lending firm before they will even show you property. It was an interesting read.

E-Books

The past couple weeks I kept going back and forth the e-books and seeing what ones I am more impressed with. They each have good ideas, I love the large print that would be great for sight impaired (thinking of homebound of course). And that they hold an entire book you can take in a small pocket. Also I went through the selection we have in our collection of e-books. I just bought a mp3 and can't use it on many if any of them. But it is very helpful to see how it is done and how we can help our patrons to use more of our resources.
