Thing 18 & 19

I used Gliffy to create a mindmap of how to find an electronic journal article through our library website (see previous post, just an example). Gliffy is easy but not free (only trial version free for 5 maps). I think I’ll use Mindomo which has a basic free account. I already have PDF creator on my computer and did not bother with them. I already have a Google account and created a few documents (imported and created) documents that I have shared with others. I find this very convenient especially when one is working from home you no not have to carry your flashdisk around. If email goes down I can share document with other and allow them to edit the douments without emailing back and forth. I discovered that I can load PDF documents into Google Docs as well, and link these to my Google sites websites.I do not make use of a lot of these tools on a daily basis, but from January we will be hosting our Web 2.0 workshops again on a monthly basis and will definitely use Web 2.0 tools to get us started.
