Summary:
The experience was quite beneficial and although I have had prior exposure to some of the tasks, I surely did learn something new. I still do not know how or where rss feeds fit, that task was confusing. The ability to download content from the NY Public Library holds great merit and will be used.
I do not know if I am sufficiently versed to say I am proud of my blog but I do very much appreciate the opportunity to be an old dog learning new tricks. If we were to do something similar in the near future, I would jump right in. Thank you for the tricks.

Going Back to YouTube

Libraries are not just static places:

OverDrive at NYPL

Was successful in downloading Bob Hope and Jack Benny, just one chapter but enough to see the possibilities of the ebooks from the New York Public Library, what a collection.

Missed a couple of weeks, out sick with a terrible cold. Will try to catch up with the rss feeds, etc. We want to focus on archives and the work that libraries do in preservation of photographs and other paper items.

Clip art from Microsoft, uploaded?

Yes.

This is the week of catching up. The annual report is done (?) and submitted, the sap is beginning to run, and the horses are getting set for the Derby on May 3.

You know some titles, yes: check it out

Photos

This week we will take a picture of whatever and save it somewhere. The whatever will be an archival photo that is in the collection of the Stamford Village Library.
I am also in the final stages of putting a grant together to acquire the "Bloodgood Collection."

Learning Activity - Lifelong

Reviewed the 71/2 habits and downloaded the contract. Think I will work on digital images, scanning them, using old photos from our collection.

Images of Water

Got a grant out today that will assist in digitizing images of water in the Northern Catskills. The SVL will use the historic and archival collection within the library to complete this project.

The Back Room

The adventures of a back room archives will be documented on a regular ? basis....
