Thing 5

This one was tricky to set up. Even though all staff computers have iTunes, I couldn't figure out how to get the audiobook into iTunes. (OverDrive says it can be done, but I'm not sure how.) So I had to ask Vince to download the OverDrive media console to all staff computers. If people have trouble, I hope they ask for help, because this one can be tricky.

The good news is, the Friends agreed to pay for the first year of an OverDrive subscription for our patrons! YAY!

Thing 4

I must admit, I am not a big fan of PBwiki, because when you really get into editing a document, it is tricky to make formatting changes. But for easy collaboration, it's the best wiki tool I've seen.

I'm glad so many people seem to like this. We can use it more for staff collaboration. People seem to have lots of great ideas!

Thing 3

For Online Applications, we are using Google Docs to track everyone's progress in TechPlay. Yes, I confess, we are actually reading your blogs! Each of the committee members is following the blogs of 5-6 staff members. Then we have a Google docs spreadsheet where we make note when each "Thing" is completed. It's working out pretty well. I'm even able to check it from home, where I'm working today.
