Week 14 Newsletter

Created and sent a newsletter using Letterpop. Very easy tool to use. Useful tool for managing email alerts.

Week 13 eBooks

Had a look at some of the ebooks - Great concept!
This triggered a conversation with a Library supplier who advised that they could speak to the publishers to see if some of the policing books eg Handbook of Policing could be made available electronically for members to access. Not sure on cost. It could be cost prohibitive. It would be a great way to meet the demands of our dispersed workforce.

Week 12 - YouTube

Can see the potential for both YouTube and Google videos to display short instructions on how to use Library tools. I like the fact that the videos are short and sharp. Unfortunately YouTube is one of the prohibited sites so we cannot make it available to our members.

Week 11 Podcasts

I added a podcast to my google reader. I can see the benefit of making available podcasts of our Meet the Writers lunchtime talks, Library information sessions etc so our members can listen to them at their own leisure at a time convenient to them.
