Thing 17: Elm Production tools

WE LOVE ELM IN THE PUBLIC LIBRARY WORLD! We use elm all of the time for our students and adults alike. We are always showing people this wonderful resource that we all have available to us. It is one of the greatest things! Our entire staff has has some elm training at the library. It is a very cool thing.
On another note..this "thing" gave me an opportunity to review RSS. I think I needed it. When I got to my assignment for thing 17...I thought this is a snap. I went to the site, found what I needed, only each time I tried to try this feed to my RSS site...it said it was not a RSS site. So, after about 5 tries...I am going to go back and try and link them together later. Maybe it is a high traffic day or something..so, wish me luck tomorrow. I may need it.

Thing 15: Online Games and Libraries

Working in a public library with public Internet access makes you very much aware of how gaming has become a very important aspect of peoples lives. I have a husband that simply cannot go through his day without playing spider solitaire online. I on the other hand couldn't even get into pacman in my days of youth. I asked my husband the other day...if there was some gaming gene that must of missed me or something..and he laughed. I took the 2nd life tour and enjoyed the music, the surreal world was interesting, library lingo and info everywhere was good too. I hate to say this, but I still think gaming eludes me. I do value it for other people and want to make sure I am informed on this or that, but I just don't think gaming is something that I personally am interested in now. Maybe in the future I will think differently, who knows?
