Week 8

Could not gain access to Zoho so had a look at Google Docs & Spreadsheets instead! Similiar functionality to word based programs but obviously different access abilities..like the fact you can share/edit docs with others & export files pdf. or html...


I've had another look at Flickr, this is my favourite site so far, I'm going to have another go at uploading a picture..wish me luck..

Week 7
Wiki's are kind a cool, can see a lot of benefit for use in libraries, online bookclubs, online feedback etc. Wiki's are a great resource sharing tool particularly between libraries, however users need to be aware infomation is not authoratative, in the case of Wikipedia for example!
I've added my blog to Sandbox Wiki!
Week 6
Had a look at Delicious & Technorati, could spend all day navigating around so moved on to Web 2.0 future of libraries, found 'Away from Icebergs' article interesting. I agree it's great to offer new technological services to patrons providing libraries can assist in the instruction on how to use them. Training is essential if we're to deliver services successfully & encourage patrons to use them regularly!
Week 5
Hi there, I've had a play with an online image generator, (mag & book covers) actually, I'd be happy to post my work of art on the blog but I keep getting 'error on page' when I try to do so, so I'll have to leave it that. Librarything is 'down' so I haven't look at that yet, I'll come back to it! Rollyo was good, I've created an account & searchroll 'De' searchroll'.

Week 4
Some words of wisdom I discovered on Bloglines, oh & I did set up an account:

"We are here and it is now. Further than that all human knowledge is moonshine."

"A conference is a gathering of important people who singly can do nothing, but together can decide that nothing can be done."

"Don't knock the weather. If it didn't change once in a while, nine out of ten people couldn't start a conversation."

Library related sites:

It's time to talk about something 'technology related'. As technology ceases to excite me I find this challenging, nevertheless, I'll give anything 'a go' so I did, a Flickr mashup! I've created a fab mag cover aptly titled 'Diamond Creek Dudes' which unfortunately cannot be viewed on the blog because I don't know where it went! And that's my view on technology! Someone pass me the salt!
