23 - The End

The program has given a glimpse into some of the many 2.0 tools out there. It's a reminder that there are so many things to keep track of (and so many passwords!). The many ways to retrieve/communicate information and the many formats that the information comes in will keep things interesting for library staff into the future...

19 -My Pet (Substitute)

Couldn't get on the VU Wiki - but here's my 'pet'. In a subject I studied they had a wiki set up for us all to use. Can be useful but they need a critical mass of users and entries to be effective.

22 - web based communication

I have checked out the Meebo web page, looked at skypes overview and key features, and used MSN Messenger.

Instant messaging could be used for distance or off campus library patrons and questions.

21 - Podcasts

I have subscribed to the New York Review of Books podcast.

20 - YouTube

YouTube - so many vidoes, so little time...

Sarah Palin Vs the Librarian

17-18 Delicious & library 2.0

Delicious is a great idea. The idea of having bookmarks that you can access from any computer is great. As someone who uses at least 5 different computers throughout the week I can see the benefits of Delicious.

2.0 tools allow for a range of ways for storing, sharing and retrieving information. Its going to require time and dedication to keep up with the constantly changing tools and technology!

16 igoogle

I have created an igoogle home page and added the following gadgets: Map search, book search, facebook, docs, spreadsheet & wikipedia.

It can be handy to have many applications/gadgets in the one spot.
