Task #6

Hello all,
Finished the quiz with flying colors. The thing that surprised me that most was that there is an actual french fry review. I knew that Consumer report would be the place to look, however I figured the search would come up empty. Oh well good ole consumer reports really does have everything a consumer could want (Next search best toilet paper haha).

A patron needs to complete a task on the computer but has never had any computer experience. Patron says that time is not an issue. Do you....
A) Complete the task for the patron as quickly as you can
B) Tell the patron that they are hopeless
C) Show the patron how to solve the issue step by step then offer to sign them up for computer classes
D) Show them facebook

Task #5

Having used Chilton's database myself several times already for patrons and once for myself to find out how to replace a power steering pump in my last vehicle which was a 2001 Ford F150, this task was a breeze. Chilton's database is very well laid out and very simple to navigate, even for someone not as technology inclined as myself.

Task #3

Hello all,
Using the masterfile and searching in consumer reports I was able to find that the most recent article for best smartphone and cell phone plan was made was January 2011.

The Ereader of My Dreams

So in this task we are to blog about the ereader that we would be inclined to purchase if we were in the market for such a thing. I would have to say that something with more options that just reading a electronic book fits my fancy more. Say I was reading a ebook and I came across something that I wanted to know more about. It would be nice to be able to go immediately to the internet on said device without having to get out my laptop. That being said I think that my purchase choice would have to be the Ipad 2. With this device I can access not only the iBooks store but the Kindle Store the Nook Store the Ereader store so essentially it is all the other ereaders bundled into one device. I would also be able to use this device for other things as well whether it be standard web surfing or typing up a paper for school. This device is also useful because it offers the option of video mirroring, which is the option to display whatever is on the ipad to any tv. This would be useful for parents reading books to their children just put it up on the tv so the whole family can see whats being read. As far as downloading to this device it can't be any simpler. All you have to do is go to the app store right on the device and download the overdrive media console app for FREE. Then you go to the app select get books, choose your library and then you can browse the ebook catalog. When you find a ebook that you want all you have to do is either put a hold on it or download it directly to the device without having to hook up to a computer or downloading adobe digital editions.

Task # 2

So I found out that I didn't really need the website for most of the questions, I did learn that its Hoover not Great Lakes that is linked to for error messages. Overall good task especially for employees newer to the library lots of good learning resources on our website, but it's expected we are a library after all.

Task #1 Ice Cream Paint Job

Hello All, I'm back at the reins of this ship after a long time away I can see that my blog is just how I left it. Very happy to see the digital pack rats haven't invaded. Well for this task I was to create a blog, lucky enough I remembered my username and password from the old blog (don't ask how my mind is a vault to the useless but not to the useful). So to make the task slightly challenging and less of a "freebie" I updated and and redesigned the old blog. A certain rap song entitled "Ice Cream Paint Job" by Dorrough comes to mind.
Pleasant blogging to yall
Oh I want the Ereader thanks
