Possibly related posts?? June 4, 2008

Well my blog just did something strange – when I published the last post, it brought up a link to 3 other blogs from people from my course. Did I tick some kind of obscure box, or is my blog starting to evolve on me? Technology is still a strange and wonderful thing to me [...]

Library thingy June 4, 2008

I have visited this site before and it is a fairly amazing online community for your average bibliophile . This was the first account I’ve created & I must admit to being a bit wistful when I check out the ‘blog’ section of the site and it had a link for California members to go for [...]

My Mum ran off with the bookmobile driver – Technorati June 4, 2008

I have no urge to add my blog officially to the technorati blogtracking site – I must admit that I find the image of them ‘spidering’ through new blogs sites to be a little on the creepy side…And I’m not even an arachnophobe. The information supplied about them seemed to state that the site did [...]

Del.icio.us June 4, 2008

I have visited this site before, but this was thefirst account that I’ve created and the variety of sites that it encompasses is fairly inspiring. I added tags to subjects from politics to crafts to our local history association. I can definitely see the potential for this in a library setting, especially with it’s potential [...]

You Tube May 6, 2008

Once again there has been a lengthy pause in my progression of this course – explained by the fun & effort of the school holidays & the flu bug that temporarily decimated our staffing numbers. I’ve enjoyed reading through the ‘Videos online’ material, and appreciate how much of a practical application it can have for [...]

Last words on Wiki April 7, 2008

I just had a go at updating the practice wiki that they set up for us, which was an interesting experience. I added to the ‘Branch Librarians’ page, and it was great sharing other people’s experience with the same position at other libraries. Like myself, they all seem to feel this bounding enthusiasm for their [...]

Oh what a wonderful wiki world April 4, 2008

I’ve always been fascinated by the wiki phenomenon and I’ve really enjoyed learning a bit more about them. Wikis represent what I think is the best aspect of the internet – the chance for anyone to share information with the world on any topic imaginable.  I enjoyed watching the tutorial, for although it was quite [...]

Flickr Fun April 2, 2008

Well, I have just had the fun of setting up a Flickr account with some photographs of our lovely little library that is in the midst of a major renovation project. I managed to attach the widget, but for some inexplicable reason the photographs refuse to display through the link, so I will simply provide [...]

The RSS Landscape April 2, 2008

Well, it has been interesting to learn about RSS – I am somewhat amazed that I didn’t know about this before! I read the ‘add 5 sites’ to your Blogline and wondered what I would choose and in the end added so many sites to get the updates from that I am unlikely to ever [...]
