Week 12 Social networking

I have enjoyed the Library 2.0 course and have found new sites to use both in my work and home areas. I have very much appreciated the knowledge, guidance and patience of our trainer Claire.

Week 11 Online applications and tools

I can see how this is useful for distributing information to friends, colleagues, work places etc but currently not particularly useful in present position. Its good to know that documents can be saved online and not reliant on your your PC not crashing.

Week 10 Mashups

This was fun and easier than I thought. Will be put to good use for scrapbooking, Christmas cards and calendars.

Week 9 Podcast

This is an easy and convenient way of listening to missed programs, lectures and talks. It would particularly useful in the library to make available to many people our oral history and author visits.

Week 7 Tagging or social networking

Informal cataloguing allowing people to find their own collection and to share their interests which could be books, photos, videos or web sites easily.

Week 6 Youtube

Wiki

Interesting to read other peoples comments re what they like about working in a library.
Wiki would be useful as a electronic daybook sharing information with the ability to update and add to information. Also good for informing staff at branch libraries and casuals of problems and need to know information.

RSS Feeds

Now I see why new items added to the library catalogue are put on reserve so fast by our patrons. I also like the idea of having so many of the subjects/topics that I find interesting listed together and continually updating.

Photos - week 3

This is a picture of my favourite rose - Mr Lincoln. Not only does it look magnificent but the perfume is exquisite.

Week 1 & 2

This is my first time exploring the web 2.0 and I am looking forward to actually creating my own blog. Where I have followed blogs before I have not had the opportunity to investigate how they are created.
