Week 18 Slideshows screencasting and digital storytelling

I was surprised to find a slideshow presentation on living rooms in Tamworth Library in slideshare which goes to show you can find anything in slideshare.



In trying to upload a powerpoint presentation I found it frustrating waiting for conversion time.Thought is was a useful tool for presentations.

Week 17 Nings

I like the idea of nings and the ability to be able to view what others in the community are reading and the ability of the public to share what they are reading and the opinions of the book. I think the idea of discussion through forum is exciting.

This is a great example of collabrating web 2 tools for the benefit of the library community. However I found that there was a lot of information to look at on the page and hard to take it all in.

week 16 Evaluation of web 2.0 tools

Google alerts

I have set up a few alerts for my personal interest. I can see these alerts saving time searching for information. The alert lets you know when the information arrives.

I currently use alerts within the library catalogue to reserve and tell customers what's new. I can see how google alerts would be a useful tool for both work and personal use in saving time looking for information on the web.

Feedburner

Feedburner would be a very useful tool for someone who is using there blog all the time. Although I don't consider my self a blogger I can see the importance and role in providing statistics.

Survey Monkey

Good resource for libraries to find out information by compiling a survey and getting replies.Enjoyed this survey as mine was about cake flavours and what flavour would you prefer?
