Tagging folksonomics del.icio.us and library thing. This has been a very exciting working with these tools which can be accessed anywhere by anyone Social bookmarking saves bookmarks to a central page. Seeing how others have tagged links is a quick way to access other websites of interest and will be useful in search for information on specific subjects or items of interest.
Technocrati was difficult but did work for me. Did not have any sucess with nswpln2008
Library Thing is brilliant. I will be able to ditch all those scribbled notes and pieces torn from newspapers for a beautifully organised account.Good personal tool.
Lists of books on my library records which show heaps of books I have borrowed but some were returned un-read can also be sorted. Just need to keep adding to it.
This was a particularly heavy week. Not possible in the time allowed.
Visited Library Thing registered and added books to my new Online Library. Linked to my blog. Good stuff.

Week 6
Week 6
Very interesting. However could have somewhat limited use in our library. I think the Mosman Library videos are great and show the opinions of various groups with different needs as library clients. Libraries need to meet all these these requirements and move ahead as well in order to stay relevant.
There could be a possibility of using videos in a teaching and possibly a training situation however with the equipment needed. In a small library we could not do this.
Use in preserving town and family history would be an excellent use of this resource as seen on the lesson.
Showcasing local History and blogging about discoveries are further ways to take up this technology as well as promoting our library and events.

Week 5 Wikis
Visited 3 sites: SJCP: Subject Guides. Booklovers Wikki and Mint Museum. Wikki would be useful to promote collections, events and to communicate. Great to check on book reviews or publish them as well as a way to circulate current Library news.
I would like to see Wiki's used between library staff in our Regional Library Branches. A great way to assist in the organisation of childrens programs where Branches are using the same theme can share ideas. Likewise brainstorming ideas between Branches and managers.

Week4 RSS
Week 4 shows how to easily access many blogs on topics of interest from one site. I was able to access 6 blog sites easily..which are now posting regular updates. I like the ease of accessing all the daily things I look up regularly.. they are now coming to me instead of my having to look for them.
Sites used: ABC News. Public Library Services.Powerhouse Museum. SM Herald.TV Guide. Library Bytes. Weather.
In a work situation many newsletters and daily up-dates between Branches (in our case) could come to me at one site. Libraries can take advantage of this technology by setting up "feeds" and regularly up-date to pass information throughout the library "family" as is already being done in many cases.
Looking into the alia. blog and National LibraryBlogs which are well worth looking at as examples.
