Thing 11 - Library and Reference

Dakota County's mobile app works wonders.  I understand it is a bit wonky from time to time, but it has lots of the stuff that people use/want most right at their fingertips - their account, the calendar, the catalog and books.

I am impressed with ELM's app too.  (Isn't Jennifer Hootman a gem?). I think it would be great if the school libraries that have iPads would put the ELM site right on their homepage.  I know that they use these resources extensively, to have the right at their fingertips would be great.

Thing 10- sharing photos

Instagram seems pretty straight forward, and sharing the photos on Facebook is easy.  I don't really like "following" anybody - it it just feels creepy :)

I think Instagram was made for taking pictures of food!! But I an see how it could work in. The library with teen programs on the library Facebook page.
