Take me hours to view my first Ebook

I've signed in and created my account on Yarra Libraries' OverDrive E Book Catalogue, and borrowed 3 books. Last Sunday I followed the step to download the OverDrive software, OverDrive Media Console. After the installation, I tried to open my Ebooks. But I was told: "the OverDrive media File root element is not valid". What does it mean? Yesterday, I asked our expert Katia. She used library's laptop to show me. the laptop has all the software already installed so we could see the e book pages. Amazing! Do we need to download both OverDrive Media Console and Adobe Digital EPub to view the E books? It doesn't say. However, last night I turned on my laptop to download the Adobe Digital EPub software. Following the step by step, when the download completed, I started to install. Then, I was told:
"You need to have the Microsoft Net Frame Work 3.5 Service Pack"
OK, but it is a big file, took me 10 mins to download, then about 20 mins to install! After all, I went back to the Adobe Digital. I run it again then installed it finally!
I logged on my ebook account again to open my firstly borrowed e book, Anxiety Free, but I couldn't as it was about expired. the due date is 13th Feb. Then I open the "Fashionable English"....Ow, it works! I turned the pages, 1, 2, 3,...I just feel one word: HUNGRY!-- it was midnight!

Google Reader

I've signed up on Google Reader and subscribed quite a lot Feeds. Such as Google News Australai, China news, .... Now I am sending an item from one of the news to my blog.

"Spoken Word" -- Podcast.

Take a break on your eyes and just listen -- Podcast!
I closed my eyes and listen to the Podcast. I listen to the SBS radio, one of my favorites. New York Times Book Review, the University of Oxford, the ABC national radio... this is a fair world -- if you don't see, then you can listen!

SlideShare Presentation

I've signed up on SlideShare and done the homework:
http://www.slideshare.net/19630820/yarra-libraries-community-meeeting-presentation-2010-richmond-v2-16128029

the SlideShare website is very good to share or view someone's Power Point presentation. For exampl, the shows of the State Library of New South Wale and the State Library of Victoria.

Share my report -- Google Drive

I just did a Google Drive document. I pasted my quarterly report there and share with my team mates.

I hope they could see it and edit it.

Join the world's largest book culb -- Librarything

http://www.librarything.com/home/hong_huang5

Log on by using my Twitter accoutn and now I have 12 books on my Catalogue List. Few years ago, I joint Librarything when I was on the learning program, "Learn 2". The benifit of librarything is

• to check what are the hottest titles
• get automatic recommendations.
• write a review or rate a book if you wish.
• you can see other people's comments.

 However, we have other ways to search books, authors anc reviews etc. the Dynix WorkFlow is our day by day system we have to use. we also use Library Link, and the most popular --- google!

GoodReads--reading is more fun when shared.

http://www.goodreads.com/
 on the Goodreads, so far I have rated 46 books and have 60 books on "my shelves". I've found some Chinese titles. Apart from the Noble winning Chinese author's works, I also see other Chinese fiction. The challenge:  my goal is to read 20 books in 2013!

my works at Prezi

I just done a little work at Prezi. I've created my "flowers" on Prezi, http://prezi.com/zwnkwmxtyxt1/edit/#8.

My Prezi, learn and try

Google Drive, it looks easy, but I couldn't download the app on my work PC. I will do it later somewhere.
Then I get into Prezi. I've registered as a "Free" pubic account. And I'vd done a test. This is my link:
http://prezi.com/kimxp1u985rm/edit/#14
the contents are from S drive, public branch meeting, 2010, Richmond. Now I know how Prezi works.
