Week 11 & 12: Online Applications & Social Networking

Loved the Online applications...just what I needed to learn about. This can be used at work to share documents in progress ie newsletters. I can use it at home as well especially PDF.
Social networking has changed the way we share information and communicate with one another.
A great marketing tool for libraries, customers can be updated on resources or services from the comfort of their own home or office at their leisure.

Loved my Journey....

I can't believe that I'm finally here...I have finished...it has been a bit of a challenge. I work part-time, have a young family and uni commitments, so it is a good feeling to finally be here. It did take more than the 15 minutes per day and I needed a note book to keep track of all my user names and passwords for various site, but I thoroughly enjoyed very moment of the the journey!

Week 5 : Wiki's

I thought I had finished, but have just looked over my blog and realised that I have not added my thoughts on wiki's. My first introduction into contributing to a wiki and I just loved it.. I have never been game enough to contribute before though. I have used wikipedia before and thought it was very informative and liked it, I use it often for my assignments to get an understand of something that I'm unsure about.
I liked the book lovers wiki, what an interesting concept, this could be quite useful in our library with staff and clients adding to it. I have just contributed for the first time to my uni wiki that has been set up for a study visit. It is fantastic that we can all share our thoughts and photos online. I have been won over... I now love wiki's...
