WEEK 8 - PRODUCTIVITY

Eventbrite has been in use at the library for events and staff have familiarity with it.

Zamzar - useful if people come in to the library having used a computer at home and want print off files, Zamzar allows conversion to match library software.

Googledocs - took the tour, read the testimonies. Easy access from anywhere for collaboration between our team members for example. Would be useful for people working from home too. Interesting tool.

Google reader - I would never have that many RSS feeds that I would need to organise them, but it is useful for those who do (Miss Fiona is one)

Web2 Award categories - selected YELP. Noted that it is very USA focussed but UK now adding to it. Searched on Seattle - bookshops. Searched Glasgow sites and had a look around. Lovely if you are lucky enough to be travelling and want to plan some special things to check out. Checked out LULU for books but didn't think much of it. If borrower wanted up-to-date travel info we could suggest YELP for exploring topics in addition to our travel guides.
