Week 11: Podcasts and audio

Today I found one of the best inventions in recent time "Podcasts"
There are like online video or radio and you can watch them or listen the files.I like ABC podcasts, they offered very interesting subjects. You can have RSS for new updates in case there are interesting for you.
I think it is very good idea using podcasts in the library services.
Our library organised many interesting talks, exhibitions etc. , which are worth to broadcasting and advertising them to the clients.
We may inform them about our unique collection using podcasts.

Week 10 : Answer boards and social searching

Visiting the Answer Board Librarians wiki I found many interesting questions. When I viewed Exemplary Answers section I found answers are well rated.
I think answers boards can be very useful teaching tool in our reference library.
I posted on Yahoo!7 Questions. I hope I will soon get an answer.

Week 8: Del.ico.us Technorati Library Thing

This week I have learn about Deli.cio.us, Technorati and Library Thing. I have signed up for an account in Deli.cio.us and added few bookmarks on it. I found it is very useful way of tagging items of interest for both personal and work related.

Technorati was founded to help bloggers succeed by collecting, highlighting, and distributing the global online conversation.
I explored Technorati. I searched for "bookmobile" and found 1065 entries and 1107 in advanced search. Search for "state library of nsw" give me 323 results.
Library Thing - it is great to know how to create your own online catalogue and share it with others.

Week 7 : online video

Today I started discovering YouTube and Google video. When searching under "Flinders map" iI found interesting video written, directed and narrated by 7 year old.

Week 6 : RSS

Until now I don't know what is RSS, but I found that is great technology. Today I have created an account for Google reader and I have subscribed to SMH News headlines, ABS News, Librarybytes, Google News and Powerhouse Museum Picture of the Day. It saves a lot of time in finding latest news and latest information in particular subject.

Week 4 : explore weekipedia and wikis

After a long break I have finally come back to my learning 2.0

I just have done this week wiki and found very interesting. The idea of using wiki for library procedures is very fascinating idea.
