Task #8 - Espanol
I did pretty well on the quiz (an 8...because I can't count, I think.) This is really helpful - I find it pretty easy to follow, even in Spanish, most of the time...but Google translate is helpful, too. I do show this to Spanish-speaking patrons when I have a chance, and they're happy to see it - they often point out which page I should click on so they can review the information there. I also enjoy that Google translate is available on all our LibGuides to transform them into Spanish, meaning a lot of our resources and their availability can be found/understood, which is what we all want.
Task #7 - Cloud Computing
Everything is "in the cloud" these days. It does indeed seem like the future, and of course, it's pretty handy, too. Dropbox seems very useful, though I am not a current user. I have used Google docs/spreadsheets for all types of things. It came most in handy in library school when collaborating with folks from across the nation on group projects. I'm not really a multiple-device-carrying kind of person, but if I WAS...I would probably make more use of this. I would suggest these to patrons, sure. It would be much easier for them to access their things on our computers and their home computers...they could work on a Google doc from either place and keep it saved in the same spot. I'm sure I use the cloud more often than I realize.
