Since privacy covers so many areas, I limited mine to privacy policies and statements on health information web sites. I need to investigate this Rollyo site more because I find it confusing. My first thought was why not just search google for this information. But then I realized that a this searchroll was looking for privacy sites that were of interest to librarians specifically. A large field of internet sites had been narrowed down by this group making the search process much faster.
Then I opened a Rollyo account which is at http://rollyo.com/pamrees/ and called it
Consumer Health sites. I have not completely figured out how use this one either or how to save searchrolls.

Bed and Breakfast mashup from the U.K.
I enjoy traveling and so I chose a bed and breakfast mashup at http://www.bedandbreakfasts.co.uk/ This site uses Google Maps of the United Kingdom
to locate reasonable bed and breakfast and similar accomadations all over Great Britain. If I were to plan a trip on my own there, this would be very convenient for locating accomodations ahead of time. It occurred to me when I was looking at this that I have already looked at internet sites in the past that were mashups. I just did not recognize them for what they are. I can't see myself putting together a mashup at this point. This is probably the most complicated social networking feature of this class. I appreciate knowing what a mashup is.

MLA 2.0 Class - podcasting and videos
Our library has always used an ICN network to broadcast classes to a wide audience, but podcasting could be used instead. The problem with that in my circumstance is that many librarians in Iowa do not know how to use this technology or their
computer systems will not support it because of firewalls or lack of computer power.
I feel fortunate that I work at the State Library of Iowa where I can use this type of technology. It has been a real eye opener for me and I have a better grasp of what this newer technology is all about and how to use it. Being able to search for videos and then being able to move them to a blog or other site is really neat!
