#15 on Library 2.0 & web 2.0

The articles read mention a current drop in circulation of books and a move steadily towards providing information access in homes, offices, anywhere the consumer wants it. It would seem that the libraries of the future will need to teach/demonstrate these new ways of using digital collections of journals, books, blogs, podcasts etc. Interactive learning.

#12 Rollyo

I seem to have lost my chosen addresses - Lambley nursery and the Diggers Club at Dromana, but the process of using Rollyo would be a useful one. I like the idea of being able to access your favourite web addresses from the blog. Something I would like to come back to when I'm able.

#11 My library catalogue

This is a really fun site to spend time on. So much fun I've accidently added the list twice! It'll be my wallpaper now....

#7 New Technology

I've really enjoyed the exposure to this training. When I think back to the original list of jargon terms - totally foreign sounding and strange, week by week these things have become if not familiar at least partly understandable! You notice symbols and words in the media and around you and I hope to play with some of the areas again in the future.

#16 Wikis

This has been a terrific week. I'm looking at starting a bookclub at our library next year and there were very good ideas on one of the American library sites. This libary wiki had a template for setting up a bookclub, book reviews and ideas. Our own interlibrary information sharing discussion page reminds of this. I think from this week I will be using Wikipedia more too.

Week 6 #13 Tagging

Now this could be an addictive tool! I'm looking forward to learning more and playing with this site.
