Email: Picked up some good hints on processing email from the Merlin Mann video, "Inbox Zero", such as trying to be more concise in writing emails and also working to keep the Inbox empty. Do not spend a lot of time on Emails. Usually check emails when I first come in to work and at different times during the day.
IM (Instant Messaging): Have experience using AIM (AOL IM) at home. Pro: A nice feature that AIM provides is letting you know when the other person is typing. Con: Lack of privacy.
Text Messaging: Interesting to find out that Text Messaging can be generated by computers and received by them as well. Text Messaging would be beneficial to Libraries especially in Circulation areas, such as letting patrons know when items are available, providing shorter turn-around-time.
Web Conferencing: Viewed a Minitex Webinar - Archive version of "Podcasting 1: What is all the buzz about". I like the fact that these presentations can be done on your time. This could be used by libraries for continuing education and training for library staff and also for patrons.
