FINALLY! I created an account on Google Talk. The computers at work would not allow me to download or launch Google Talk Gadget. There must be a problem or something is blocking pop-ups on the work computer. I was successful with the computer at home and was able to instant message with my daughter. I have used instant messaging in the past.
I read the articles on text messaging. I do not intend to use it. I don't see where this would be a useful tool for the library.
I went to OPAL and looked in the Archives. I found a WMA audio recording for finding health information online. I listened to and viewed the slide presentation. The presentation discussed the various resources for finding information on health related issues on the Internet. It discussed HON which is a designation that web pages can obtain showing that they have received a seal of approval for meeting specific quality and ethical criteria. It discussed how to always make certain as to the reliability of the information. It discussed various urls, such as .gov and .edu as being good sources of information.
I did go and create an account on Twitter but it is not a site that I am interested in at all. In signing up you had to see if any of your email contacts were members of Twitter before you could proceed. I had none and did not want to know what anyone else was doing.
