I have on my laptop warned me this was not a good site to open. I deleted it. So I didn't
have the opportunity to use Open Source.

Task # 15

2009-10-18T14:43:00.000-07:00

This was a difficult task, I tried on a computer here at the Library and could
not complete this task. So I tried on my laptop at home and with some difficulty
completed this task.Not sure if I would use Clipmarks in the future,but I
wouldn't rule it out either. I only tried clipmarking 1 picture,maybe the more
you use it the easier it will get to use it.

and Zelanzy. I loving the 6 novels that Jane Austin wrote am glad to know

for each book. Plus options for more details if you would like more
information on the book.

impressive jobs in different countries.

2009-08-26T10:51:00.000-07:00

It appears everyone does have a their own idea of what a Library is and does.
This was an informative task.

I believe that a smile and kind words will take
you along way with people. Knoledge of your job should be number 1 in order
to help to patrons.

As for orientation for new employees,there's alot of information for them to
absorbe.
