librivox

I thought this was a pretty interesting site with a very respectable goal.  I was surprised with the amount of public domain books the website had gathered and converted into an audio form with the help of volunteers.  Being a history major, I decided to search for a few different topics and found that many of them had works that were available for download.

Podcasts

On podcastalley.com I found the podcast LibVibe.  Every week a new podcast episode is added to the channel and it discusses a variety of topics in the library world. It does, however, tend  to post more information on news stories rather than act as an education resource.

Youtube- Benefits of Web 2.0

7 1/2 Lifelong Learning Habits

Personally, I believe Habit 6, using technology to my advantage is the easiest.  I have always enjoyed learning about all the new programs that are made available.  Even when I encounter new technologies that I cannot grasp right away, like Pro Tools,  I'll sit at my desk until I figure it out.

Habit 3 is probably the most difficult for me.  Sometimes it is hard to just look at a problem as only a challenge.  However, after I have successfully dealt with it I am able to understand the good that has come from it.
