Week 6 Google maps

I've changed the map to my favourite holiday destination. I watched Disneyland religiously as a child on a Sunday night at 6:30 and dreamt that I would visit it one day. My dream came true in 1989 when I travelled to Canada and America for a holiday.

Week 6 Google docs and spreadsheets

I like the functionality that Google docs provides. I can see the benefits of using this tool to deliver journal articles to our members. I've succeeded in sharing information with my staff and will now attempt to share it with our Library users

Week 5

Had a look at Facebook - great concept. Unfortunately, it is of no use to our Library.

Week 4 RSS feeds and feedreaders

RSS technology is a great alert mechanism. It keeps you informed about the latest postings to a site. I will use RSS technology to push more information out to our organisation. We find that we have to go to our users rather than them come to us. Its amazing how much interest we can generate by providing our users with the latest published information.

Link to my RSS feeds. I used Google Reader

Custom search engines

I got carried away today after reading an article on "Custom search engines: tools and tips" and decided to add links to websites on my blog.

Reflection

I had difficulty accessing image generator because of our secure network. However I had success using Image Chef http://www.imagechef.com/ic/final_widget.jsp Would recommend it. Very user friendly.

Arrested

Week 2 Flickr and photo sharing

I found navigating my way around Flickr difficult. Even after I read the instructions. Did anyone else experience difficulties?

Traffic Police have a hazardous job especially in the winter months

In typical Aries fashion I thought I would jump right in and create a blog that I could use in my job role. If you are familiar with the zodiac you will know that we are full of enthusiasm for new things. We also get disheartened when our enthusiasm is dampened! At the moment I am very enthusiastic about this training. I think all our Libraries will benefit from this online training program.
