Podcasts

Wow.. what a lot of time that took.. and I had "technical" difficulties with ABC pod casts, but got some of the library ones. I can see the use for some library members, especially youth, in presenting views; book clubs in allowing others who may not be actually at the meeting to hear and imput to the discussion; and in staff training, especially for refresher training or remote access. I can not see myself as using it at present.

answer boards

I have been looking at this and don't see myself as an answer board person. To all those entusiastic young things out their in library land, definitely a chance to make your intellectual mark! Certainly more interesting than myspace and facebook, but just as time wasting if you keep chasing after the items. Moving right along......

Friday 2nd May

Just moving along. now in week 7.. and time is getting away from me!
Will not have time today to actually delic.us but have enjoyed watching the video and checking some of the other libraries use of these.
I can see a great use for this when doing reference queries, but being in a small branch, we don't get lots of in depth questions. But now I know who does, I will be going to their ref pages fairly quickly.

Thursday (late shift again!)

And because it is raining, the library is not very busy, so I can do some of this. I am probably not going to get all the modules done, but will keep working at it. Having holidays certainly did not help, I forgot the lot. I am less of a technophobe since starting this, but still give the difficult stuff,(even mildly testing), to the other staff! Thank goodness they are computer literate!
I had to go and edit some of my earlier posts as half the sentence (and sense) was missing.
I must try and keep on with the touch typing lessons, it is certainly faster, and seems more accurate when others do it, ( perhaps cause they are watching the screen, not hunting and pecking). Back to the study.

back again

I will have to redo some of the items so I can move on. Hope to do better now - my brain may have absorbed somnething.

back again

Maundy Thursday

And I am so far behind in what I am doing. Now it is Easter and I will be on holidays for a few weeks. I hope to catch up when I get back. I did not finish the week with the Wikis so I really am behindhand.
I think I have forgotten all I knew about RSS feeds and so on/. May be later.
