wrap up

I have enjoyed all I've learnt on this adventure - I'm not sure I'll use everything but it was interesting to see the different ways of communication that are available for now and into the future.I look forward to checking out everyone's posts and the feedback from them.

week 10 - geocaching

I can see how geocaching would be a different way of encouraging people to become interested in what's happening in the library. I feel it would be more accepted by younger readers who may like the concept of competition and the chance to get outside following their GPS.

Week 6 - Delicious and LibraryThing

Delicious is an online tool where I can store my bookmarks and access them from anywhere - even while I'm relaxing at home!

Library Thing - I can see that this would be useful for those wanting to share their book collections.

Week 9 - Podcasts

I've previously used Podcasting as a means of listening to radio programmes my daughter did while she was working for the 94.5 radio station. From this experience I accessed other radio stations when items of interest to me came about..

Week 8 - Online video



I chose this clip as I like Mexican food - especially making it myself as you all know my fears about other's 'cleanliness in the kitchen' habits!

Week 7 - Facebook and Twitter

I already use Facebook and find it useful for catching up with family and friends. Twitter is not for me personally but I appreciate the way the library uses it for marketing purposes eg tweets about Library and Information week.

week 5 wikis

I find our library Wiki helpful to keep up with any news, changes in procedures etc that may happen when I'm on leave, an RDO or if I happen to miss something for whatever reason!
