Google translate will convert the entire webpage or selected text into your specified language. I use it regularly for translating Foreign Language cataloguing information eg book titles, authors, publishers etc. Students use it to convert English to a LOTE subject they’re studying. The conversion isn’t always 100% accurate and sometimes only gives a rough example.
I was delighted with the results of searches in google books. Searching for my old childhood favourite author L M Montgomery brought back many happy memories.
I enjoyed playing with igoogle and had created my own igoogle homepage during previous SLQ technology training. I found it to have regular, current and correct updates of weather, local, national and international news and other added features. The animated frog image was a hit with everyone who viewed the page.
Google maps is handy as a training source. I use it to create my own personalised maps, add local businesses and friends homes to the map, to create and add reviews to locations.
Google calendar could be used on a library homepage for patrons to see all the upcoming events in the library
