Well, here I am Back at blogging after having a spell for (quite) sometime.Yahoo!7 questions asked are very different. Some of these must be tongue in cheek, with these people having fair toooooo much time on their hands. This shows how impersonal the internet can be.
Answer board Librarians Wiki have far more "real"questions. Most of the questions I looked at I found very interesting, and the answers of great use. The biggest problem I see is that any Librarian from anywhere in the world can answer the questions posted - therefore the information given may not be of any use. Eg. questions asked in Australia can be answered in Canada.
On our local council/library website we have "ask a local librarian", this is used mainly for local and family history queries. Maybe when the patrons are more familiar with the library services on-line, this will be used more.
The tag line "Librarian- we eat questions for breakfast" is great.
My question is - are there any Australian answer boards?
P.S. this thistle is how I feel this week at work- prickly
