Wiki's

2008-03-23T21:10:00.000-07:00

In a public library situation I think a subject guide wiki would be a great idea. We could put common reference questions/school assignments and resources we have found useful on the subject guide wiki and thus share our findings and not re-invent the wheel every time!

Also within a school library environment we could provide links to currents texts that could be used for assignments and during HSC an example could be books that can be used for The Journey.

The idea of the procedures manual on the web is great due to the ease of access, however my concern would be unauthorised people changing things they shouldn't! I guess this would be an instance where you would limit who had access and who had update permissions.There is certainly a wealth of information on the Library Success wiki.

I found this task a little bit difficult, however I did get there in the end. I am starting to think that i am not so technical savvy. I like the idea of RSS feeds as you are getting up to date information on what interests you and you do not have to wade through information that has no interest for you. The site that i selected are.

Libraries could use RSS feeds to do with new books being launched changes to electronic databases, serial publications etc.

I didn't find any other good examples of libary blogs as I was getting frustrated.

First I have used this site, found it a bit overwhelming, however will keep at it.

Learning 2.0

2008-02-27T00:18:00.000-08:00

What I hope to learn from doing this course is to become more familiar with blogging, wiki's and all the other things that we will be learning about. By becoming more familiar I hope to achieve more confidence and not be so unsure of the unknown. I hope to gain a better understanding that will help me in my studies.

I feel that life long learning is good for the soul, as it keeps your mind activite and healthy, it is good to be informed and have an interest or passion that you are able to share with other people, this can be achieved through lifelong learning.

I haven't had very much experience with blogging only with the one that we use internally in our library for staff use, which for me the format has taken a little bit of getting use too. I think their is a use for blogging inside libraries as it enable's people to give thought/opinion's anonymously of things that are postive or negative within the library environment.
