week 9 - Podcasts

I visited Denver Public library's podcasts which i think there story resources is really good and educational. Podcasting wouldn't work very well here in a small country town as the majority of our clientale is elderly but some of our younger customers may use it to their benefit. Podcasting would have a use for specific research to gather other people's opinions and viewpoints. Maybe beneficial amongst staff to gather information for customers who may ask.

Answerboards - section 2

I have posted my question on Yahoo. It will be interesting what response i will get but i won't lose sleep over it.

Answerboards

I thought "slamming the boards" is a interesting site especially how it showcases different answers from different librarians around the world. In my busy days in the library I wouldn't have the time to contribute but it would be good for the customers to do reviews on the services we offer. With customers asking questions or reviews we can see how other librarians deal with different situations and how we can improve our library services.

I really love this site. This is the second time trying to fix the link.

LibraryThing

I really like LibraryThing it gives you such a wide choice.The good thing you can add so many books to your library depending how much you read. If you are like me who loves books this list will never end.

Technorati

I think Technorati is a really interesting website as it corresponds with other websites. Looking up bookmobiles on the two different search plains was quite interesting as it produced different results which is good as you don't want to read the same sites twice. The nswpl2008 photos was good too.

Discovering Del.icio.us

I think del.icio.us is a good idea. This site can be very useful for libraries by organising different catergories for research purposes or even lists of popular books. It can also be useful to be used at work or at home at any time.

My video summary

I picked this video off Youtube as I thought it was appropiate as the nature of the clip is what reading books is all about letting your imagination be absorbed into the fantasies of the literature you read. The music is very calm and soothing as well.

Week 6 - Videos online

I was amazed looking on these two sites - Youtube & Google how many videos are on these sites. I mean it's never-ending no wonder it is so popular and addictive. It is so easy to get lost in the sites looking for different things you just don't know where to start. I know i spent a few hours trying different sites.
These sites can help libraries by showcasing their exhibitions, displays, what's on offer, children's activities, upcoming events. In some ways it can be a good idea if libraries hold workshops showcasing how to do videos in a controlled environment
