I will definitely continue to use some of them myself - both for work and personally<br /><br />Thanks Jason for your work in setting it up - it has been funNoelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15319032968141874917noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9201582898564420977.post-264998297838247392008-09-10T22:46:00.000-07:002008-09-10T23:33:29.034-07:00Thing 22 Read about Library 2.0Read about Library 2.0 - one could go on forever - obviously there are many and varied views on the subject<br /><br />I am looking forward to planning day and where the discussion on Web 2.0 leads us - from reading our blogs we have a variety of opinions floating around<br /><br />A quote of interest:<br /><br /><em><span style="font-family:verdana;">Steven believes that many of us are putting the cart before the horse: employing technologies before we figure out which problems they might solve:<br />Whether it is owing to a lack of time, a desire to quickly implement new technologies, or allowing bandwagon mentality to rule, rarely do most of us allow sufficient time to carefully design a strategy for technology innovation. Not only do we likely fail to conduct an analysis to first determine the feasibility of a new technology application, but we rarely take the time to adequately determine if our users would value the new service. In a nutshell, our approach is to identify a solution before we fully understand the problem.</span></em>Noelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15319032968141874917noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9201582898564420977.post-74444153475798314682008-09-10T20:40:00.001-07:002008-09-10T23:34:58.259-07:00Thing 21 iGoogleHave been having fun with this - have managed to set up iGoogle with gadget links to the many and varied things that I have joined - so now access is all on one page which is good<br /><br />Think I will make time to get it organised properly so that it is useful and therefore will use itNoelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15319032968141874917noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9201582898564420977.post-36893792128469092882008-09-04T22:13:00.000-07:002008-09-04T22:42:31.572-07:00Thing 20 Google Book Search<a href="http://books.google.com/books?uid=3124871079642892435">this user's library - Google Book Search</a><br /><br />A link to my library for what it is worth - not much added.

I certainly can see uses for Wikis in our library setting and hopefully as a result of this we may get a wiki or two going!!

Apart from the opml file mentioned above have found all the instruction relatively easy to follow.<br /><br />Now on to Podcasts!!Noelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15319032968141874917noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9201582898564420977.post-61607578577825693062008-04-16T23:31:00.000-07:002008-09-11T23:48:17.915-07:00Things 1, 2 and 3 Read about Program, Extend Browser, Creat a BlogSo far have completed the above and am finding my way through - am enjoying the process and hopefully will learn some new skills along the way - very much trial and error but the best way to learn I think - looking forward to the rest of it. It would be good to have the time to explore these things more thoroughly though.<br /><br />We finally have the builders in our work room and I must say we are looking forward to the finished outcome - working out of our AV store room is interesting to say the least.Noelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15319032968141874917noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9201582898564420977.post-73753916165066708872008-04-15T02:37:00.000-07:002008-04-15T02:41:09.031-07:00Learning about bloggingThis is my first attempt at blogging and I am not sure that I have any idea much about what I am doing - however only one way to find outNoelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15319032968141874917noreply@blogger.com0
