e books - Gutenburg

A very interesting site where you can access e books - the top 100 wwas very interesting with a wide range of titles and very interesting to see that the classic titles were in this list along with some other obscure like the illustrated History of furniture??

Of course I looked for the children's titles - and Grimms were in the top 100. Looked for Roald Dahl but unfortunately not listed.

This site must be a godsend for Housebound, sight impaired etc - they are adding titles all the time and you can download them in several ways, onto CD/DVDs, you can even proof read a page every day for them to help!!

You can also access an offline catalog if you have problems.

Podcasts

Followed the exercise and have added two RSS feeds to my bloglines:

and Booklounge where you can enjoy candid interviews with your favourite authors, or discover your next great read. Featuring books from Doubleday Canada, Knopf Canada, Random House Canada, McClelland and Stewart and more!

Very interesting - I actually found that I had already visited a few of these sites via other ways - the troubleshooting one we had used at home to try and sort out some technical issues with tuning something in.

I really liked the www.last.fm which gives lots of music choices and if you search for a group that you like it will give similar - very useful

www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/ looked so good but would let us access - you can get latest BBC programmes - I wanted to have a look at Antiques homeshow but no luck

www.hairmixer.com - great for us girls who want to have a change of hairstyle - you can change hair with a picture of yourself before you venture into the hairdresser!!

Using this in the library setting - well could be useful to capture latest book titles or or web developments.
