thing 16 to 23

This last journey through Wikis, Zoho and podicasts I found terribly frustrating, podicasts wouldn't open, Zoho I couldn't open, adding exciting images and places to my blog became confusing, my patience and persistance wore out but I did finish with listening to 'Briar Rose' from Audio ebook library collection which was most pleasant. The venture through Library 2.0 has opened eyes and windows of what is just some of the available tools that will become as familar as a pen and paper in the future.

Past, Present and the Future. 15 On Library 2.0 and Web 2.0

This little exercise summed up Learning 2.0 nicely and it all made sense. Libraries are heading at high speed towards being more than just a collection of print material, up to date information is readily available on the Web but I do disagree that we are living in digital lifestyles that drive everything people do. It may be that my boat just hit an iceberg and it's time to bale out!!!! What happens in a Black Out!! candles won't help.

Week 13

Tagging, Folksonomies and Social bookmarking. I'm learning there is alot out there in the computer world that I will never discover and probably never require the patience to shift through, but I can see that information and visual effects are all just sitting there waiting to be harnessed if I decide to join the race.

Had a look around these sites and there are some really interesting tools for use, really needs lots of time investigating, but the sun is out and off to garden..................................Horse

Australia's Native spices

On line Bloglines and RSS, interesting, found articles that I didn't know existed, subscribing to newsfeed could be useful for small business wanting contacts, I am passionate about our Native spices and the picture is of Mountain Pepper, a plant that grows native in Victoria

Out with the old ways, In with the new

I have been in Libraries since the 1980's and have travelled the systems of cards to barcodes. Not only have Libraries changed with the introduction of technologies but also the services that Users expect to find in a public library have increased immensely. Once a Users would wonder in to their public library just to sit and read the daily paper or to catch up on writing letters to overseas friends and family, those users now wonder in to read papers on-line or correspond with friend and family overseas by email. A sea of Reference study carrels, students with heads bent over piles of reference books, sifting and sorting for that answer they should know, the image is now replaced by a screen flashing information, the students eyes transfixed, printers and memory sticks blinking red or green and speed the essence. Silence signs are thankfully replaced with peaceful in-house music, vibrant storytimes, poetry readings and training classes for our users. I wait for the day when technology delivers, a new streamlined book shelving device.

imagination! Nature or Technology

This image caught my imagination, What is it? What does it relate to?
