Wiki

I edited. It was good. Seemed to work. (Ernest Hemingway)
I went to the Wiki page and edited favorite teams and favorite movies. I added the St. Louis Cardinals and several of my favorite movies.
It was easy to edit.

Browsed through most of the sites listed. Liked the uncyclopedia best. Looked at the muppet one, and bookshelf fantastica, and wookiepedia. I think the library could use these sites to keep people current on info, books, events, current news, local and national, and get input from the public about lfpl services etc.
The library-oriented sites could be used to implement changes and projects within our system that have been successful elsewhere.

Podcast, Week 7

I went to Acrocats YouTube video because I heard about them coming to Louisville and wanted to see what it was all about.

Ulysses by James Joyce is 42 hours and 20 minutes.

Listened to Louisville Sports News, Learn Out Loud and BBC, Scotland Funny Bits. The Louisville Sports feed was annoying because the feed did not come through clearly and was irregular feed. The interview was not complete. Learn Out Loud was very helpful because I study art history; however, the woman's accent was annoying. The BBC Scotland Funny Bits was not funny at all. But glad I know how to find it.

RSS

The three feeds I subscribed to are the NYTBR; the St. Louis Cardinals official site; and the Louisville Bats official site.  I found the use of RSS very interesting way to navigate the sites, certainly speedy.  Yes, I could see using Google Reader as part of my lifelong learning toolkit, especially once I build up a listing of all the sites I regularly visit.

#12 answer to week 5

sorry, mistakenly overlooked answer #12.

Now that I have been introduced to these databases I am going to explore them a bit more before I make an answer.  Personally I would use the databases that house comprehensive book reviews because I am in so many book clubs and because I do research for the Speed Art Museum I am more inclined to use the Academic Art History databases, but need to explore those a bit more before I answer. 
As for as the public, I am inclined to say most of their inquiries are of current news info. and ProQuest has been handy for me in the past, but maybe that is because I worked there.
