I've read about the different licences some times before but in my work  I don't very often use media on daily bases that I have to check copyright for. One month ago, I did look for som music to a film I've made about Italy, to be published on Fb. I looked for "O sole mio". Found one (1) recording on "Sound Cloud"  that was good with CC for commercial use. I was a bit surprised that this recording was allowed and it showed that it was not - It was published under false CC on another web page. Fb immediately told us we were not alowed to use it. So - no O sole mio. Could have used this instead: https://soundcloud.com/nikos1333/maria-callas-la-diva-o-mio  Free recording because of it's age. Not that good! I chose to use the built-in music in the film-maker program..:-(

I already know some things about Wikipedia. Often forget another free, open resource, as Wikimedia commons. Totaly new for me where Wikiquote, Wikisource, Wikispecies and Wikivoyage. Sweden is a small country and the content is too small to be usefull, I think, except of course for Wikipedia. The english versions are much better. But it's good to keep all of them in mind, especially at work (in information service) and especially Wikiquotes. About Wikipedia - it's good that articles are marked so you know if it's a good article or one that needs to be supplemented.

I've never used Google Hangout. Got no-one at the moment to chat with. Good tool. I use Skype for language lessons. Almost the same, I think, even if I don't know all the possibilities yet. We could use theese tools in a better way even at work. It's a good way of sparing time.

A good thing - on our employees days we will discus the democratic mission of the library! 

I also think it's a shift of paradigm: we listen to earbooks instead of reading with our eyes, we use avatars in communication instead of trying to describe our feelings with words. Both are in a way more convenient. The written text demands another effort and we move away from that in 2000. God or bad or only the natural circle of history?

At work we use social media rather much but I'm not one of those who is responsible. Found the guideline for social media on the homepage for the city of Helsingborg. It's a short guideline, I was aware of some content, not all. Now I no where to find it if I need.
