<p>Last week we held the 3rd in a series of Brown Bag Web 2.0 sessions.<br />
If you missed it &#8211; be sure to put the next one on your calendar!<br />
(Let us know if you want to share a tool you are using)</p>
<p>Many thanks to our presenters!<br />
Here is summary of fun &#8211; and productive &#8211; tools LIS staff are currently using:<br />
Jeff uses iGoogle to keep multiple resources in one easy to access place<br />
Adam F uses Twitter to log his daily activity &#8211; and extracts a list when its time to write his PFDP<br />
Mike uses FeedDemon for PC to easily track sites he is following<br />
Adam F uses NetNewsWire &#8211; the Mac version &#8211; as his reader<br />
Elin uses CommonCraft as a site for easy explanations of web 2.0 tools<br />
Mary uses GoodReads to build her personal reading list and to see and share what others are reading</p>
<p>Mike uses ChaCha to settle bar bets<br />
Mike uses RememberTheMilk to track everything he has to do<br />
Mike uses Jott as a reminder service<br />
Adam D uses GrandCentral to personalize and control his phone<br />
Bryan uses Delicious to share and store his bookmarks<br />
Joe A uses Facebook to remember birthdays and to connect with family</p>
<p>So&#8230;not only do you get to have fun, you can also win a prize!<br />
The following people have won coffee mugs (with coffee card included):Steve Bertolino, Pij Slater, and Mike Lynch<br />
Others have won silly toy prizes &#8211; for non-web fun: Rachel Manning, Mary Backus, Jean Simmons, Judy Watts, Mack Roark, Alex Chapin, Adam Franco and Carrie Macfarlane.</p>
<p>Do you have a fun web tool that you are using for work or play? Have you discovered a new tool still in beta?<br />
Interested in sharing it with others in LIS?<br />
Want to present? Presentations are casual and short &#8211; no lengthy preparation required.<br />
Just want to share an idea that we can present for you?<br />
If so, please contact Elin or Bryan.</p>
<p>Save the date and time!<br />
The next Tasty Web Tidbits mealtime session is scheduled for Tuesday 11/25 at 6 pm in Lib 105. The idea is to get together, have some fun and share the web tools we are using. Presentations are about 10 minutes long max. Each session has 3 &#8211; 4 presenters with time for spur of the moment sharing. There is a prize drawing at each session. Attendance at all sessions increases the chance to win the grand prize in December.<br />
Please bring your own bag meal &#8211; and enjoy a fun meal-time hour with co-workers.<br />
Hope you can join us!</p>
