Social bookmarking

Well this is the last of the modules..over the past several weeks i have learnt a bit and have changed my opinions about the whole licence thing!

Today i enjoyed shelfari, which is why i posted photos of these cuties!! It was pretty cool and i still have room on my virtual shelf YAY!!

RSS feeds

Hey there,

I have finished the RSS feeds module and thoroughly enjoyed it...this whole licence2testdrive buzz took a little to get used to, but it is ok. The use of RSS feeds is efficient and lets you know the latest news in what interests you such as your favourite teams, movies and books. This way, i get all the info i need at one site. As for the use in libraries, i think there is a spot for it. As a library assistant, I am able to keep up to date with other library blogs. Similarly, if we had a VP library blog, clients could keep up to date with the events that are coming up. til next time...

p.s the photos posted here are of Muddy Waters..I recently watched a movie titled "Cadillac Records" which shows the rising of Muddy's career and also shows some of the other legends of rock n roll before the rolling stones!!

social networking

I currently have a bebo and facebook page. I use it to communicate with people. Sometimes i find it difficult to check it on a regular basis, which means i often reply late to messages from friends. I can see the benefits in using these networks for both work and social areas of my life. After my conversation with Andrea, regarding the virtual libraries and the use of online databases, it would be a useful tool for our library as there may be some people who do not go into libraries but would find our resources helpful. I still think that having clients come into the library is better as there is that personal interaction with the client and it also means that I will still have a job serving the customers!!

This picture has nothing to do with social networking, but it looks pretty:)

Wikis

Well what can i say, wikis are pretty cool and can make life much simpler if you know what youre doing. Although i am not 100% confident in how it all works, i think that a few more lessons and I'll be able to do so much more. In the workplace, it could be used to organise staff trips with a group of people with no more emails going backwards and forwards.

It can be used for family and social trips as well, which i liked..very much

time is running out, but overall wikis are a good thing
til next time

Flickr

Today, i had a look at Flickr and what it can offer. I found it to be very interesting, searching for different tags and awaiting the photos that came up..sometimes not really related to the search terms i put in...very interesting

I think that Flickr would be a good tool for libraries to use in covering events that we have held and to show the public what has been happening in a visual format. Its a good way to share photos with everyone.

During my adventure through Flickr, I searched my name and came across the "Cheyenne Diner"...hehe and posted a photo as well.Famous

Library 2.0

Hello..

I am using this blog for library 2.0 and lifelong learning:) I currently have a Facebook and Bebo page which I use to communicate with friends and family both here and back home. It is also useful to see what they have been up to and view photos from special occasions, tournaments and holidays.
