#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.

# 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.
