Thing 21

1. Introduce Library 2.0 - This is where a new person learns the basics of how the "hardware"
works. Patron must feel comfortable with concept and visualize how various venues can
benefit him/her.
2. I would recommend RSS and Newsreader to adult patron looking for a quick review of
preselected news/events. To get started, I'd recommend GoogleReader and establish an
account.
3. Photo archive (Thing 5). A great place to store all the valuable photographs that may be
scattered about the house. I have Picasa and I like it very much. It is probably the most
versatile application I've encountered.
4. Thing 8 - For the patron who has an appetite to "look over the shoulder" of others as to what
their interests are and providing your own comments.
5. Thing 12 (Library/Thing). For the reader who reads books by a certain author(s) and can't
remember what's been read. Patron can not only list his/her completed books, but can also see
what others are finding interesting and explore.
6. Online video. This is for entertainment essentially. UTube is being used more all the time. It
can be informative as well as entertaining. iGoogle is a good source for this.
