Rollyo

Monday 23 June 2008

Here is an attempt at a Rollyo: http://rollyo.com/editroll.html?sid=389855
I am sure Rollyos have many advantages but, for me, I'll keep my regularly visited websites in my Favourites. But it also good to see other ways to do things.

Wikis

20 June 2008

I seem to be overwhelmed by the number of ways I can share my news, views and knowledge with my family, friends, work colleagues and anyone else where ever they may be and whatever the time of day.
Yes, Wikis can be a great way to communicate collaboratively - pooling ideas and sharing knowledge in a workplace. And why reinvent the wheel? In my role as a Heritage Librarian, I would love to have a series of accurate and well-documented Wikis relating to any aspect of Tasmania available on the Web. I am concerned, however, that information published in a Wiki could be inaccurate, misleading or biased.

MySpace and Facebook

29 May 2008

I signed up with Facebook and became one of my daughter's many friends. I felt as though I was intruding on their space but it was fun to see how much fun my daughter was having and to share in her photographs. I found a blog from an Australian school librarian who said that MySpace is blocked in all school libraries. I don't think I would use MySpace or Facebook professionally but it is good to see what the younger generations are up to and how they communicate. I also think it's important for libraries to connect with young people in one way or another.

Had a look at the Google Doc site. The link to Learn More didn't work so I don't know what I am missing out on. I must admit I tend to agree with The Fev's comments about Google Docs.

I have spent a bit of time looking up titles on Google Book Search. I think I'll find this site very useful, particularly finding out of print titles.

Slowly catching up with the Learning 2.0 program. I did have fun locating my place of work and home on Google Earth. It was good to see both from the satellite. I don't think I'd used Google maps very much at work.

Here's my Librarything link: http://www.librarything.com/catalog/margaretharman
As you can see, I'm rather fond of Cairn Terriers.
