The End - relax....................




This was much easier to accomplish this time having two weeks for each. Thanks Tosca.

Very interesting yet again to gain all this knowledge. I really don't think that we would be doing this off our own back's. We need to be organised! ha ha

Thanks Tosca for all your hard work!

Week 6 EnCompass - wow wow wow




Looovvvve this site - had already discovered this site previously.
I have saved as a favourite. I will recommend this site to customers.

I did check on which books we had as I looked them up - it was about half and half, so pretty good going.

It was user friendly and divided up in useful ways in order to get good results.

Week 5 Slideshare



Slideshare - mmmmmmmm - wasn't sure about this one - some of the presentations we were looking at were actually now quite old and with the constant change in technologies am wondering how useful this site would be for customers.

I can however see it's use for assignments when studying for library papers! haha

I know how long it takes to put these sorts of things together - some were very long and to be honest without the presentation effect they sort of fall a bit flat.

However saying this they were still interesting and I may refer to the site on occasions in the future.

Again, knowledge is wonderful and you would always keep these sorts of site tucked away, just in case a customer has a particular enquiry.

Week 4 - Tastespotting


What a great little website with beautiful clear photos. I viewed this a couple of weeks ago and now got round to looking again.

I chose the Lemon pudding recipe as this was one I was looking for one sunday a few weeks back.



I will definitely recommend this to friends and customers if appropriate. I search for receipes all the time, but have to admit that I love the friendly comments and great photos!

Week 3 Feed my Inbox





Always love to have a play - ha ha

This was interesting and can see the applications. A really good use would be for job seekers wanting to get information on particular jobs. I know there are other ways to do this too via the jobs sites but still a good idea to have this particular one.

Week 2 PicApp

New Zealand, Auckland, Sky tower illuminated at night, low angle view

This was an interesting exercise. It was tricky looking for something within PicApp, so decided on New Zealand. Logically I first tried to insert image and paste into URL, but this did not work, so tried the other way and lo and behold an image appeared.

Any free image site is great to know about and usually these images are not copyright and are clear and crisp if you wish to print etc.

Again, knowledge is power - it's like a book, some books are great for some things, and not for others, same with these types of site - great for some uses. So again, it would depend on what the customer is wanting.
