week 9
Blog about how your library could use podcasts for your clients and staff.
podcasts would be useful for clients wanting to download talking books for adults and children when going on holidays taking away the responsibility of borrowing library resources which may go missing then having to be replaced.
Podcasts would be good for staff at work related meetings recording information then downloading and sending onto management instead of the tedious task of writing reports after every meeting.

Tagging and social bookmarking would work in larger libraries where staff are rotated throughout the library. For example at the reference desk each staff member could place any resouces found to be very useful on this site and other staff would be able to access this information. This would be an invaluable site as all staff could utilise this information and the user would benefit from fast efficient search strategies.

Week 6
What possibilities can you think of for your organisation?
I work in a public library and think that Youtube would be a great way of promoting the Library. Staff could video the collection, new resource and even storytime and holiday programs which are going on at time. Staff could also use YouTube as a training video for new staff learning how to use the Library management system. The library has a lot of younger children who are only interested in the computers and the use of the internet, YouTube would be appealing to them and if staff were to promote library services at the same time, it would be more in their face.

Week 5
What I found interesting about the Wiki is that it is interactive, people can add information and suggestions to what others have written, either agreeing or disagreeing with what has been written.
Wiki's could be applied to many applications in Libraries, such as a book review site where borrowers could share informaiton about what they have read, promoting the library, and work place procedure manuals.

Week 4
RSS is a site which enables me to be more time efficient as I do not have to log on to a lot of different sites to access information of interest. This is what I would normally do and it is so frustrating when I am in a hurry. This is why I love the site.
Week 3
Flickr website was very informative and interesting. The pictures of Henty were great especially the photos of the Henty Central Hotel and the Henty Man. However some of the pictures although very beautiful were not of Henty NSW, I don't know where they came from.Visited the Mosman Library found it to be very interesting loved all the photos.
