Social Networking Week 7

I did have a good idea of what all these sites were, but played around on Myspace looking up different genres of music and playing bits of songs - very enjoyable!!

Very exciting checking out the Hennepin Library site - you can sign up for bookclubs, they also have Saturday morning storytimes..mmmmmm....

Bebo was blocked for me even though I paid but checked ou the connection which was very interested - lots and lots of info.

I have signed up to Facebook and asked my daughter to be my friend..aaaahhhhh
This of course may be the only time we can catch up. I have actually been using her facebook login in to see what my son has been up to on his travels and seen lots of photos which he may not have necessarily been for mum's yes!! but good to see he is having a good time overseas.

This is a great site now that globetrotting is so popular.

Web 2.0 and libraries and of course librarians!!

Technology is changing so fast and in the case of libraries by the time we get hold of new technology it is soon old technology!!

However, I believe that there will be new librarians with a whole new set of specific specialist skills required. e.g. at present we have childrens, reference, library assistants - and yes we all have to multiskill, but I believe that there will need to be a specialist librarian in every branch who will share information as does the childrens, teens, and reference at present. I hope this makes sense.

Technology could be used by publishers, etc. to share their sites more freely when searching for books and share the information more easily.

Teaching methods in schools will also change dramatically and it may be that libraries will need to align with their changes.

I do know one thing though, New Zealand needs faster internet speed!

A very inspiring article!

Technorati and Del.icio.us

Goodness gracious me - this was mind boggling - read some interesting postings and it is a very interesting mindblowing theory regarding this bookmarking. Will it all get into one big mess eventually?? My logic is telling me yes, but I expect there will be some other technological advance that will sort it out!!!

I decided to do a search for hip hop and many wonderful and interesting articles appeared - interviews, newspapers articles. If I was to do this seriously, I would probably want to have the tag of the specific artist e.g. Kanye West

I must admit I thought Delicious was something totally different, so have learnt something new - I have to admit that I thought it was a type of facebooking, but now I know differently - of course doughnuts are delicious too!!

back to rollyo.................

Had to go back a Week to redo ROLLYO - hadn't quite got this right - had posted wrong information in so need just to start from the very beginning to quote the Sound of music.....

looking forward to the weekend. Hope it doesn't rain ha di ha!!!

Wiki

Looking at Lesson 5






Very interesting, soundslike a New Zealand Bird or some obscure word you could use in Scrabble!!

The library sites are very interestings. We have set up a Wiki to use during Library Week for people to Share their Story. If you have an interesting story, send it over and we will post it on our WIKI!!
