New Start and New Image for Blog

I have finally got around to starting the first session of the Learning 2.1 course. I've changed the look and name of the blog. I haven't used it since the last course. The template I chose is one from the blogger site.

Wrap Up

Thanks very much for giving me the chance to participate in this training. There is no way I would have been aware that these sites and applications existed let alone have the opportunity to try them out.
I hope to be able to keep them fresh in my mind, and consider how they can be best used in a library setting.
Cheers

Social Networking

I do agree that libraries need to have a presence on social networking site such as Facebook. Especially as a way of staying in touch with their younger clients.

Online Applications

I, like many others no doubt, had no idea that these facilities existed. It's very handy to know of their existence

Mashups

My creation
Originally uploaded by wendy.perkins61

I really enjoyed having a look at the variety of mashups and found it easy to create my little calendar, upload it to flikr and then save it on my blog. I must be learning something! I'm sure these could be used to create fancy and interesting images and tools for promotion of the library.

PodCasts

Now I know what podcasts are! There seem to be many applications for them in a library environment. The Grand Rapids Public Library has used them for guest speaker and author talks, book reviews from librarians and storytime sessions. They could also be used for oral history interviews, staff training etc.
Does the NSW State Library podcast some of their seminars? Us people who live in the country can then hear/watch them without actually having to go to Sydney.
