AND NOW THE END IS NEAR

I never thought l would come to the end. OH WHAT A FEELING.
I think our branch manager will be glad to see the end of blogging, as every week not only helping one but 4 people with the event. Although there was a lot of groans when BLOGGING was mentioned, l found that overall there were some useful applications, especially for small community groups to advertise what is available, and also for library applications. As being in a small branch the time factor played a big part, trying to fit it in each week.
Whether l would use in the future, time will tell.

ELVIS HAS LEFT THE BUILDING

AUDIO BOOKS (definitely the end is in sight - 1 2 go)

Audio books would be so useful for any library, large or small. This gives anyone a variety of titles to choose from. It is impossible to have all titles, so this would be a bonus for any library. Also would be useful for set school reading lists, when multiple copies are required at once.

PODDY CAST

Podcasts would be a useful source for any application in any field. From a step by step guide to advertising different areas of the library. Would be a useful source for any business or community group.

You too can youtube like l can youtube



Why did l choose this - because l did. This is what Strathfieldsaye Football Club will look like in 2009. And it was better than "Kevin's Hair".
You could use this in library applications if you wanted to promote a feature of the library, or an on going feature like Storytime. Lookout Haley - Lights, camera, action.

Web 2.0 Awards

I looked at Mashups and l certainly could see useful applications for Community Groups to use.
Eg. A new football club. You could create all the links for all the features of your club in one application.
You could use this in library applications of whatever specifics you require - all cookbooks, authors that write in similiar style.

Blogging Again

This would be a useful tool, if you lived distances apart, as rather than trying to all get together, you could use this and add things to it, rather than sitting face to face. This would be helpful in libraries with adding authors or adding authors that write like another author. Can see lots of benefits for people in remote areas, as well as for professional areas.

We plan to finish this blogging, or we owe Kinta a bottle of Chardy.
