Assignment #4

I really enjoyed this weeks assignment and it amazes me how we can share news that isn't even news yet, and have a voice in society without even leaving the comfort of your home. The podcasts alone make me realize just how fast we are cruising through the 21st century and what incredible advances we have made, and will be able to make with the Internet making it possible to share information thousands of miles in just seconds. The Shibuya Universities seem like a really incredible idea, and I checked out another podcast based on where we'll be in 2020 about design and our ecosystem and that was really impressive too. I don't personally think that I'll be using liveleak but I would definitely use answerbag and askbille for fun. The other sources Google Scholar and Library Spot have OCLS written all over them. They are perfect sites that we can direct our patrons to! We are basically a business that relies on open source information. It is what we are all about, and obviously with the world moving at warp speed because of advances in technology...we strive to keep up with these advances and offer our patrons free information that is easily accessible, even from home. I think OCLS is definitely on board with open source information already, it is what we offer to assist our patrons every day.
