I finished and that was my goal. I'm sure there were many more things that I could have learned. I'm always amazed at how many things are possible. This has been a good experience, difficult for this unprofessional computer user, but a good experience.
Thanks for the challenge.

Wikis
As we approach the end of this exercise, I can actually say I've learned lots of new stuff. Again, if I had a home application it would be more profitable for me. The world it is a changin'. Since I work in acquisitions and technical processes, I do not have the public interaction of many of the other employees.
Wikis are a great tool for libraries. It's nice to see everyone has the opportunity to contribute to a local site. I enjoyed the ALA wiki to see local restaurants, conference schedules, not-to-be-missed things.
I find it interesting that on some sites anyone can edit the information. When the Internet first became popular, I heard many people use it as if it was the only accurate information and certainly the most current. It was very difficult to convince them otherwise. The applications are nearly limitless. I encourage librarians with "inquiring minds" to really go for it.

Tags, etc.
Yes indeed, tags help you find stuff. This is the Reader's Digest condensed version of keeping up with this class. I'm still at a loss but I'm trying, a little.
If I had a computer at home, I could see where someone could lose themselves for hours at a time. But alas, I don't.

You Tube & me
Found cute video about Cookie Monster looking for cookies in the library. Since my son was a Cookie Monster fan some 30 years ago, it made me laugh.
Podcasts
The Golden Age Hollywood would be a great asset to customers who are into the movies.
