Week 5 : Music files and mp3s

Not a very good music fan but it's good to know some of the free sites we can direct customers to. I logged into amazon.com and had a browse through the site. Surprisingly i found some indian music you can download at a small cost which is fantastic since i listen to indian music.
It paid me going through this exercise it was great.

Goodreads - It gives recent book reviews and how people have rated them.I also went into different genre and found some good books to read.Signed up into Goodreads.It is a good tool to use for readers advisory .I will be using it for my Book Bites Club and sharing it with the members. It's great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Week 3- Twitter

Week 2 : Zamzar -converting files

I found Zamzar pretty easy to use and simple to explain to customers, if there is a need. Several times we had customers who have saved their document on USB and wants to print and can't open them . We could not assist them then and now through this training we will be able to do so. Well done Tosca!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
