weeks 11 and 12

These online tools sound great and also free.No need to purchase software anymore. Also found the map from Lemonde interesting as Australia seems to be using myspace and facebook. It was interesting to see what other countries are using and how we keep in contact with our friends and family.I find the local children like using bebo too.

week 7, 8 ,9 & 10

I used the technorati site and didn't particularly like using this site.I particularly like using flickr as I prefer images.I think "slamming the boards" answer boards would be great for libraries as clients get to ask librarians their questions and get answers back from qualified librarians.Customers may offer their suggestions on our services,hours open and collection material and purchase suggestions.Pod casting sounds great as any one can make it and you can subscribe to your favourite shows and download to a mp3 player and listen where you want to,where you want to. The great things is you are not restricted to listening at home in front of the computer. Although I have not used podcasting it sounds great.I liked huge big labs, having different ways of showing images and creating designs-I'm sure these tools would get used in the library as well.

Wikis

What did you find interesting?

That it can be used as an alternative to email really interests me as i only ever use email.

What types of applications within libraries might work well with a wiki?

On an administrative basis as a regional library headquarters i can see potential for this tool to be used to co-ordinate with other branches to organise things like author visits of agenda's for regional training days etc.

RSS Feeds

What do you like about RSS and newsreaders?

I liked the layout and colour scheme.

What sites did you select for your RSS reader?

I chose to subscribe to my work colleagues blog sites as their was nothing else i would have particularly used

How do you think you might be able to use this technology in your work?

Our organisation uses the blog to keep staff at other branches in touch and up to date with what is happening at other libraries around the region. Therefore by subscribing i can keep posted when new posts are issued.

New York City Subway - Flicka

De ja vu from my brilliant holiday with Cathy to New york. Adventurous Cathy by nature some how talked me into to riding the subway.....

I found this image on flicka today.

week 1

I hope I will feel more confident to be able to use these new tools and apply this to every day working in the library.I look forward to helping other people once I have gained this new information. Looking forward to using you tube and heard a lot about flickr and delicious.
