Google!

For work and school I personally love google. Its great for finding information. I love how Google can now compact information for the user. I think that with the new software, information will be easier to find out than ever before.

What will I do when I earn my MP3 player?

I think for my new MP3 player, I will use it mainly for audiobooks. I think that listening to it while I work out at the gym. I'm a student at SCC, so any reading that isn't from a textbook is considered a blessing. I'm really glad that the learn 2.0 course has taught me how to use downloadable audio books, so therefore; I can burn some calories while I read! :-)

Artist Rights Debate

I really feel that listeners should rightfully pay for an artists music. They spent years perfecting their work-shouldn't they get paid for it?

On the other hand, it is possible that due to free downloading that an artist has potential to make money. For example, lets say a friend of mine has given me a copy of a downloaded CD. Let's say that I realize I love the band and in return, I go see their concert next week and while Im there, I purchase a T-shirt, and a drink from the bar. Because of my downloaded CD, I have gone to see the concert, purchased one of the bands goods, and helped my local economy with the drink.

I'm not sure exactly who I agree with more- the artist or the listener?

Week 8

I'm really enjoying online learning. I'm starting after Learn 2.0, so I am catching up on my own pace. I really like it so far.

At my branch we all going through training on Learn 2.0 and why it is essential for OCLS and Library future. There are a few people who have completed the course, however the majority of us have just begun. I am teaching some of my fellow staff about the features of Learn 2.0 and bits and pieces about the course.
