8 in 08, exercise 6

I just finished exercise 6, about podcasts and library on demand. I liked the podcast, because you can hear reviews of the books and also authors. It helps to get a better idea about the book. I also liked learning about the Libary on Demand. I feel more confident now explaining to the patrons how it works and I like that it is available.

eight in '08, exercise 5

I have completed exercise 5 for 8 in '08. I signed up for feeds for Fresh Fiction, the Diane Rehm show and All Things Considered (NPR). It is very helpful..it shows what is new and it saves time, especially when I am just looking to see what authors they interviewed and what new books have been added to the list.
