Wonderful Wikis

Wikis are going to be wonderful!! Depending on time (I think I might be harping on about time) I think this could be something of great use for the library.

The Princeton Public Library wikis is a good example of what can be done. http://booklovers.pbwiki.com/Princeton%20Public%20Library

I'm looking forward to exploring this subject further and really think this would be something that our library could explore. It would be an easy way to get book reviews from a wide range of readers (both staff and borrowers). We are always looking for new books (authors) to try.

The Good, The Bad and The Future

"Where will the future take us"
Michael Stephens - "Into a new world of librarianship" enhances the Learning 2.0 technology and puts his perception on the usefulness of it within libraries of today and the future.
In my library which is open for 13 hours a week and has a mainly non computer literate clientele the lessons of Learning 2.0 are not immediately of any benefit - looking to the future where already the local prep are instructed in computer knowledge the need I hope will be greater (as I hope they will become my library users of the future).
No matter how much new technology comes along, I hope that we will always have our wonderful hand held page turning books. Reading in bed would not be the same without them.

Another site that will need to be explored in greater depth.

The ease with which you can find other peoples -

posts / blogs / videos / photos

- all to do with subjects that interest you.

Yum Yum

Another place to play - Del.icio.us may come in very handy, I have added the buttons to my screen and also tagged some of my Learning 2.0 sites and as time goes on I will make a decision on how handy I think it will be.

What fun to play with......

I seem to be spending a lot of time revisiting past lessons that we have alreading done. Learning 2.0 has introduced me to some lovely places to play. All my friends now know about flickr and also image generators.

Another Learning Experience

Rollyo!!! I think this site may be useful. Once again it comes down to time which without internet access at home is proving challenging. How much work time can I devote to Learning 2.0 - Sal my shelves are starting to look a little bit untidy, I will have a huge summer clean when this course is over.

Is There A Need??

I don't believe that this site is one that I will have much use for. I have added a few books and intend to check it out further, but until then ........
