EnCompassCulture (Round 2, Week 6)

EnCompassCulture is not an interesting but just another site for book lovers to explore. I feel it is useful for reader's advisory purposes; you may choose reading your next books by reading Book reviews or select books by the author you have not read before by reading the Author's interviews. And for the library staff who are really enjoying quizzes, they are lots of questions you can answer to test your book knowledge. I would only promote the site to the customers who love books and have plenty of time kill.

SlideShare (Round 2, Week 5)

SlideShare is easy to use although it's a bit slow to download. It is a good tool for people who would like to share their presentation with other people and useful if you want to get some idea from other people's presentation.
For library use, we may put the presentations about 'How to ' things on SlideShare for staff or customers to learn or share.
