Oops! I kind of got excited there with the balloons and forgot to say that I did search some
slideshows about Africa & the Saudi Kingdom. The "Mama Africa" and "Journey Through
Africa" have stunning photos of the scenery there. The up-close pics of the zebras were amazing! The "Old Saudi Photos" were neat, they had a few black & whites, possibly
from the 50's. I've been reading some current topic books on both of these places and
it has opened my eyes to a different way of life.

Holy cow!! Are these for real?? Where do they sew these balloons together?

And what does the sewing maching look like?

The video was great and easy to understand. Once I went to the delicious site, though, I was alittle overwhelmed by all the information there! I checked out the tags on Zillow.com (real estate site) because it showed 13,900 people following it, but most of the comments were repeats ~ I didn't "get it". I did find some bookmarks for Willa Cather! I liked the tagroll on Holdrege library's webpage. I was disappointed that I couldn't just type in "Holdrege Library"
for the username on delicious, there couldn't be a space between the two words! So you do have to know the other person's username.
If I were to assign tags for NebraskAccess, they could be any of the categories under "click links", and even more defined such as: health & medicine, famous Nebraskans, economics, book series, etc...there would be alot!
I searched "bulletin boards" and found several useful sites. Someone, in an earlier "Thing", brought this up & now I have some good ideas for our bulletin boards!
Delicious would be helpful for research assistance as long as you've found legitimate sites, there's still alot of garbage out there and it would take some time to sort them out. It would be a fun tool to use for book clubs, esp. if you aren't able to make it to a meeting, or have the book read in time. It does a better job of keeping your bookmarks in order.

Not too excited about Twitter. They wanted me to enter my e-mail password! Well, sorry folks,
not gonna do it! I think IM works better and would prefer to use it since it's right in my e-mail account and I don't have to open another window. I read a few messages from NLC and checked to see if anyone from our school system was on there, but no luck.

Here's a list of my most recent "reads" http://www.librarything.com/catalog/rclibrary.
I found it interesting to see how many other people have read the same books I have and
to get their comments or recommendations for other, similar books.
