Thanks for commenting! Quite ironic really that I completely forgot to include google as a search engine, google reader, You tube, blogger and google scholar. Just goes to show how completely integrated they are within my life that I didn't even think to include them!

Thanks for this interesting and thought-provoking blog post! :)

I'm currently reading Planet Google by Randall Stross - a fascinating look at where Google has come from, what it has accomplished, and the positive and negative aspects of its increasing expansion into our online lives.

I too have more Google in my life than ever before - I use the search engine, Google Scholar, Gmail, Google Reader, YouTube, Chrome, Google Translate, Google Sites and now Wave. Coming to grips with Google Maps is my next online 'task' :)

I try to use alternatives when I can, but I'll use the Google versions if they are better or offer useful features (eg. I used Babel Fish for years, but have recently switched to Google Translate because the translations are cleaner).

I think it's important, as you say, to keep on scanning the online environment - both for useful tools that we can use and to know what our clients are using. For example, I can extol the benefits of library-provided news service subscriptions, but I look like a bit of a dill if my client says he uses Google News instead and I don't know anything about it! In that sense, I guess we need to understand our competition too :)

Hi Jo, just dropped by, love the Harry Potter ideas. HP is having a bit of a resurrgence in our library, I guess because of the movie. A couple of our students joined the town library for the first time over the holidays, they came back and told me how cool it was. One of our boys was especially impressed the graphic collection.
I see the library are having a visit from Nick Earls and Kim Wilkins next week, hoping I can get to that, I saw Kim Wilkins give a presentation earlier this year and she was great; funny, intelligent, inspiring.
