Thing 12

Audiobooks - easy!! public domain titles mostly. Search of most popular brings up a lot of classics and children's classics. Lists are largely alpha, so you have to know what you want. One cool thing about Audiobooks is multiple languages available. Keep that in mind for library users who may want audiobooks in another language.

iStoryBooks  is easy to access. Not the best istorybooks that I have seen by in pinch, you have it at your fingertips.

FreeBooks - for phones really - Not Nexus 7

Thing 11

ELM for mobile devices is a new favorite. I will be telling my co-workers about this one. So nice to be able to access ELM databases from a mobile device. I have used it some and it works well. I was not able to bookmark the site on Nexus 7 - well actually I did bookmark it but can't find the bookmark!
Also added Library Apps. Must remember to pass this tip on to library customers. So easy to use.

Skipping Things 9 & 10 for now

I am using Nexus 7, borrowed from the library. Not what I want to use for pictures. But let's just say for now that I learned that I may rather have a different device if pictures are going to be something I want to do. And I think it is! So hopefully I will get back to this next weekend with another device.

Thing 8

HootSuite is really attractive! The layout is friendly. Right now I have just 2 social media that I use, and really only one that I use with much regularity. Not something I need too much. I see some co-workers using HootSuite and now I understand what they are doing and why. Very nice to be able to keep up with multiple accounts without needing to sign into each separately. Just knowing a little bit about it and how it works could come in handy when helping the public with library computers.

Thing 7

Pinterest may be one of the first "fun" apps that really appeals to me. Immediately found recipes, gardening, craft ideas (some pinned by facebook friends). Hadn't used pinterest before trying this app.

Thing 6

QuickOffice is one of my favorite apps so far. This probably reveals my attitude about technology being used for work purposes. While creating documents on a tiny device, without a keyboard, doesn't seem right, editing exiting documents does seem very useful. Oh the cloud...

Thing 5

Tried Spring pad and found it a little bit complicated for me. A more seasoned app user may find it useful.
Then I explored Bamboo paper and really liked the more flexible set up.
Mostly I cannot too big on notes and lists. That is not to say that I would not benefit from using an app to keep track of projects etc.
