#23 The End

This says it all. I have become aware of so many sites and become familiar with the "techno lingo". The Manifesto says it all. Signing off now.

#22 Audiobooks

Visited all the discovery sites and listened to the opening paragraph of Tom Sawyer.The end is well and tuly nigh.

#21 PODCASTS, SMODCASTS

I have subscribed to the podcast ABC Late night Live radio national. I can see several useful ways in which podcasts could be used in a library for example childrens storytime.
My searches were not very successful, another one I will have to re visit.

#20 YouTube

Found this on YouTube. Boast of the day this is Helene Blowers at the State Library.

#19 Web 2.0 Tools

Looked at Lulu this site was unknown to me until today and I think I will be able to pass this information on to a lot of customers.

#18 Web Based APPS

Zoho writer is great. I feel really bad about sending all those people "elsewhere" to do their resumé. I am posting this from Zoho to my blog how smart is that!

#17 Playing Around with PBWiki

Found the wiki site added my blog to the Favourite blogs list.Created a new catagory under PLCMC favourites list added an entry to that catagory.

#16 Wiki

The video was a good introduction to the concept of understanding the uses of Wikis. Ireally liked the Book Lovers Wiki particularly the Princeton reviews. I did a lot of exploring and can visualise many uses at my library.

#15 WEB 2.0,LIBRARY 2.0

What a lot of windows have opened to me and given me a lot of food for thought.
I found the different perspectives interesting and appreciated many of the quotes
I particularly liked Dr. Wendy Schultz article and her description " from the treasured past to the adventure of the future".

I will embrace all the technology changes and rise to the challenge but I still
think there is a long term place for the traditional library.

#14 Technorati

I now know how to track blogs using keywords. Best results obtained when using advanced search. Will need to start from scratch before I claim my blog

# 13 Tagging

I found the video useful and although I did not sign up I can appreciate that this would be a valuable reference tool. I enjoyed discovering others views on topics I would like to explore this further but I am already behind as I have just come back from annual leave and have a lot of catching up to do.

#12 Rollyo

I have created a Rollyo account and added a travel searchroll to my blog

#11 Library Thing

Would like to spend more time exploring this site. I will certainly use this in future like most of my collegues I have found this exercise fun.

My Librarything can be accessed here

#10 Image Generators

I found a great blogspot that lists image generators athttp://generatorblog.blogspot.com/.

I found this little pony image generator that allows you to create your own creature with different colours, forms and patterns. You can find this image generator through http://www.jwebgen.com/.

#9 Finding Feeds

I found Feedster very user friendly for locating newsfeeds. http://www.feedster.com/

#8 RSS

I have set up 10 feeds into bloglines and my public bloglines account is http://www.bloglines.com/public/paulinedpauline. I like getting the news in this format without advertisements.

#7 Technology

The more I delve the more amazing this learnig curve. I feel like Alice in Wonderland experiencing searches trying to be original ( but someone out there in cyberspace has "been there, done that"). What wonderful school projects I would have produced if I had all this technology when I was at school. A coloured photocopy was considered a good example of enhancing your text now students can have comparison graphs done for them, I had to painstakingly draw them up.

#6 More Flickr Fun

#5 Flickr Completed

All that mankind has done, thought gained or been is lying in magic preservation in the pages of books.



Geelong Library

I found some amazing photos when I explored Flickr and when a collegue did a search on our Library I was surprised at the photos a tourist had taken of our foyer and book return chute. This got me thinking how important house keeping is you never know what will appear for the world to view.

Practice makes perfect

This is revision the more I practice the easier it is. I watch the 6and 7 year olds doing amazing blogs and although it makes me feel inadequate with time I will be able to keep up with them.

#4

I have completed task 4 and still have my sanity.

No. 3 Creating a Blog

What a challenge. This has highlighted the fact that I need a new computer mine takes forever to load any page. Have to talk to the IT manager.
