#23 no it really is just the beginning

Well, here I am standing at the end of a major learning curve. I cannot even explain how much have gained by participating in the library 2.0 program.

YES it has been time consuming and YES I have barely scratched the surface but YES I have learnt heaps and even now at 10.00pm on Sunday night I am here working away because I am fascinated by learning and sharing and that's why I work in Libraries and that's why we should all be congratulated for our skills and talent our ability to take on huge tasks and achieve our joy in learning and sharing. YES we are Librarians and YES we are Great

#22 Audiobooks (the end is in sight )

Download able audio books is a great idea, it would make it easier for customers to access books that we do not hold in our collections . Our audio books tend to get damaged easily, discs get scratched, and tapes are already out of date technology and when it is an older item, it is not always able to be replaced. Having books which you can download for a loaning period makes a lot of sense .It is probably a something I would recommend .

#21 Podcasts

I trawled the the podcast directories I found Podcastnet good and I liked the way it worked, and I just found that I got much better results.
I think that podcasts could be a very good training tool for libraries , as a training tool for staff or customers. I could see it being used the same as as the way they have been used for the library 2.0 program.

I also spent heaps of time exploring the web 2.0 awards and have added a widget from Springwidgets but I want to add music to my dancing cherries so I am hoping that the next module will give me an insight on how to add music.

for #18

Today I played around with Zoho writer. Rather than spend time creating a special document I decided to just use one of their templates and published directly from Zoho to my Blog. It was very simple to do. If Zoho works this well I could see no reason to purchase word.
