Task 16: iGoogle

I've customised my iGoogle homepage and added some gadgets eg. Google Map Search , Wikipedia and some themes that change depending on the time of day you're looking at the page. I will be using it in the future.

Task 15: Google Book Search and Google Scholar

Google Book Search is a interesting research tool to use. I used the Advanced Book Search and located a few books by Dan Brown written in Chinese. It is great that one can preview the books before purchasing them.
Google Scholar is great as a research tool for articles. I looked up the author, Maeve Binchy and found some recent articles and citations related to her. I also could look up which libraries hold her books . I found that option very useful. I will be using these tools from now on.

Task 9, 10 and 11

I have set up Google Feed Reader and subscribed to Digg.com. I have also subscribed to a blog search feed for Australian Library News in Google Reader.

Task 12: Explore MySpace and Facebook

I have created an account on Facebook and have added a couple of friends. I find Facebook more user friendly than MySpace in terms of locating old school friends and keeping in touch with current friends whereas MySpace seems to cater for teenagers and young adults.
