It has been a very interesting experience looking at lots of different technologies.<br />I have been talking to students in information literacy classes about RSS feeds using the databases that Chisholm Library subscibes to.<br />I enjoyed customising my Google page and will probably continue to "tweek" it.<br />I am not much of a blogger so I don't expect to continue with that except if I was "overseas" (like Charles!)<br />If there was another program offered, yes I would participate in it as I must keep abreast of all new technologies eg "Twitter"!Kimbohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04073323834722828343noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4353652274707732048.post-73555239740038718122009-04-07T16:24:00.000-07:002009-04-07T17:08:49.164-07:00Thing 22: Read about Library 2.0After perusing the literature it is clear that Library 2.0 is very much about social networking with a two way flow of information from the library to the user and vice versa. Librarians need to know about the latest information tools that users may be using as this is an expectation of the cliental. This is especially apparant with younger users. Library services also need to be constantly updated to reflect this.Kimbohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04073323834722828343noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4353652274707732048.post-90411086360954737272009-04-06T23:03:00.000-07:002009-04-06T23:27:14.498-07:00Thing 21: Create an iGoogle HomepageI found this to be a fun exercise, adding and deleting items of interest to me on my own Google homepage. The fact that you can change it at any time is extremely appealing.Kimbohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04073323834722828343noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4353652274707732048.post-61980465963489469672009-04-05T17:51:00.000-07:002009-04-05T17:58:32.363-07:00Thing 14: TechnoratiI have had a look at Technorati but I don't think it is someting I would use again. I feel you have to be a serious blogger and I am not- at this stage anyway!Kimbohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04073323834722828343noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4353652274707732048.post-42261660685400339452008-09-16T21:15:00.000-07:002008-09-16T21:32:41.634-07:00Read about wikis and Edit a WikiInteresting use of Wikis across the Library World. Using them for such areas as Subject Guides and "How to" instructions allows easy access by anybody around the world- except for such things as Electronic Resources.<br /><br />I enjoyed editing our Library Wiki - I tried to jazz it up with some overseas photos! I think it would be very useful to have one for Chisholm Library staff to enable us to share thoughts and ideas.Kimbohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04073323834722828343noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4353652274707732048.post-27965222946436554682008-09-15T18:32:00.000-07:002008-09-15T18:35:03.737-07:00Google Book SearchI quite enjoyed playing with this, although I have used it before. It is very useful for previewing books especially if they are expensive and money is a consideration!Kimbohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04073323834722828343noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4353652274707732048.post-3180888078786625762008-09-15T18:23:00.000-07:002008-09-15T18:32:34.313-07:00Google DocsThis would be useful as an extra place to save documents as well as a USB or instead of a USB seeing as you can access it from any computer. Would be good for group work. It is certainly useful if you don't have Microsoft Office.Kimbohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04073323834722828343noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4353652274707732048.post-1152269897841766782008-09-15T18:18:00.000-07:002008-09-15T18:22:49.679-07:00Google MapsThis is very useful as it allows you to print out directions rather than having to write them out or read the map while you drive! Mind you, you still have to read the directions while you are driving.Kimbohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04073323834722828343noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4353652274707732048.post-61103000570115074822008-09-14T19:52:00.000-07:002008-09-14T20:02:19.503-07:00Social networkingI don't like MySpace, the site is too busy and seems to be more of a dating site for singles! Facebook is more restrained and I could see it working in some form for us at Chisholm. Perhaps we could have meetings via Facebook at some stage????Kimbohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04073323834722828343noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4353652274707732048.post-49318510813912724122008-09-09T21:29:00.000-07:002008-09-09T21:33:57.879-07:00YouTube-Blending an iPhone<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/qg1ckCkm8YI&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qg1ckCkm8YI&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Kimbohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04073323834722828343noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4353652274707732048.post-21469573609651926882008-09-09T20:58:00.000-07:002008-09-09T21:20:01.479-07:00Flickr dreaming<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/planetjanet111/438259747/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/planetjanet111/438259747/</a><br />This is my "view from a room" in Florence where I keep threatening to run away to- would anybody miss me????Kimbohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04073323834722828343noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4353652274707732048.post-17422042184290436922008-09-09T20:39:00.000-07:002008-09-09T20:48:23.533-07:00Delicious etcCan see the potential for Delicious especially in a multi-campus environment.Kimbohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04073323834722828343noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4353652274707732048.post-19892038091221731812008-09-08T18:39:00.000-07:002008-09-08T18:42:12.173-07:00Library ThingHave just added some books to my "catalogue", I am very fond of Kerry Greenwood, we should have all her books in our library collection!Kimbohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04073323834722828343noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4353652274707732048.post-16501185874449033832008-09-08T17:50:00.000-07:002008-09-08T18:08:00.517-07:00Look at moi!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo-B2qXwM2EySzKxNBIdLYu0wTuzZomZQtx0RDNwHRReb8ShoOjhwDvsoV8FoWzeiqcTEoDSY1VOxER8Wp0wtZVZyWBs5wBBIy9AY6x6ARWZBceTM9WcL0VynxHLUza5ZbBbQkAOcn9qY/s1600-h/made_at_www_txt2pic_com.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243817884508323298" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo-B2qXwM2EySzKxNBIdLYu0wTuzZomZQtx0RDNwHRReb8ShoOjhwDvsoV8FoWzeiqcTEoDSY1VOxER8Wp0wtZVZyWBs5wBBIy9AY6x6ARWZBceTM9WcL0VynxHLUza5ZbBbQkAOcn9qY/s320/made_at_www_txt2pic_com.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>I did have some "fun" with changing the sign which was a bit time consuming however I got there in the end - very "Kath and Kim" don't you think????</div>Kimbohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04073323834722828343noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4353652274707732048.post-31552392725169613482008-08-12T22:04:00.000-07:002008-08-12T22:16:01.846-07:00Editing a blogWho invented the word "blog"Kimbohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04073323834722828343noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4353652274707732048.post-20858578194796784482008-07-28T18:37:00.000-07:002008-09-16T22:30:17.683-07:00Blogging and RSS feedsHave just left my first comment on Conan's blog, I wonder if Arnie has read it!
