Thing #22 and #23
Libravox and the Gutenburg project are huge in their scope of trying to give voice to all books that are in the public domain. At first I was concerned about the copyright issues but upon further study found that they are abiding by US law because they are based in the US and only using books pre-1923. International law however defines public domain differently all over the world. It makes me wonder what will happen to copyright laws and the interenet continues to take over communication. Because April is poetry month, I added a poetry RSS feed from Libravox. We added non-fiction ebooks to the Hulstrom Library this year and I can see application for them but still am totally against ebook fiction and get rid of print as is part of the mission of the Gutenburg Project.
I have really enjoyed learning more about Library 2.0 and some items that were totally new to me. I will be able to recommend these things to teachers as I collaborate with them.

Good Grief!!! I have been listening to podcasts all morning, at least I could do the dishes while I listened to Rick Steeves traveling around Europe in an author podcast from our own Tattered Cover. The number of podcasts was unbelievable to me! I enjoyed Uncontrolled Vocabulary (linked to the site)a weekly podcast about library topics from this website but also his very informative link to his wiki about podcasts. I am toying with the idea of creating book review podcasts with my student library aides - I think I need a microphone - perhaps an italk for the pods that we have...I better look into this!

Week #8 Thing #18 and Thing #19
I had no idea about Zoho. I can see that having the option to create word docs online makes your documents available anywhere and anyplace. It is very much like Word and easy to just begin writing. I added Library Thing to my Blog and had fun with this site!
