What kind of information is being posted by the library accounts above? What kind of information should libraries post?

Libraries post about closing for weekends, programs, etc.

Information that libraries should be posting are things that are upcoming and not out of date i.e., Read away your fines day at Shawnessy on September 5. This type of thing could cause problems n'est pas?

Did I find this site user-friendly?

I found it somewhat user-friendly. Didn't like the idea that when I signed up (not mentioning my location anywhere, anyhow) it somehow tagged me as being in Calgary. I will use the site at work, but for this reason, definitely NOT at home.

Calendars

Do you see yourself using these tools or will you stick to more traditional methods.

I don't see myself using these tools. I'm kind of attached to my daytimer. Call me crazy!

Flickr and Youtube

Both are user-friendly. I've never used Flickr before and probably won't. I've used Youtube for instructional videos. A lot of time it's just people wanting their 15 (5) minutes of fame though, but what the heck.

RSS

Yes, I was successful in setting up my RSS. Yes it does make the information-gathering more convenient.

Google

What do you like about the Google product? What do you dislike? Would you recommend the product to friends and colleagues?

Everyone uses google earth, groups, finance, etc., but I was surprised at Google Books. You can get the whole book! Wasn't aware of that! Not much to dislike. Yes, I would recommend Google it.

Wikipedia - April 5/10

The mistakes I found were grammatical in nature. I was quite surprised that I could edit a page without creating an account.

March 29 - Del.icio.us

How comfortable are you using Best Websites, after this practice? Do you have any tips for using Best Websites on Delicious?

I have used the Book Awards and Genealogy tabs mostly. “Interestingstuff” said she uses the Citizenship tab all the time. I checked this out and am sure I'll use it too. So we're blogging!

Since the site is so huge, I would suggest talking to others about what tabs they are using most in your particular branch, check these out first, and then explore further.
