Bye, Bye

Yeah! I did it, finally finished. This has been a really great journey, discovering new things/tools that I really never thought about or expected to be out there. There have been some ups and downs along the way too, but I just kept plodding along and I got there - unlike some others ( including work mates).

Rotoura Public Library network is very impressive and shows great example of how libraries can utilize this tool.


Thank you, thank you, thank you for giving me this great opportunity to learn so much and how to use so many different tools.

Second last blog (but I'm not counting)


GOOGLE DOCS & ZOHO
Wow!These are online applications/tolls that I did
not know existed.
Google docs is great. I found Google docs. easier to
navigate than Zoho. I had fun using the features of
this site. Now that I have found Google docs., the
use will be unlimited, for home (as well as work - I suppose).
This tool provides one source for multi-users for a
combonation of work practises. We work a Co-op system
and this tool could be used by all the libraries to add their
deleted & new stock too - then we would have just one "mailing"
list instead of several, this could work as a great advantage.
The libraries could also collaborate their meeting details.
This also allows libraries and external groups to share information
when they don't have compatiable systems, eg. Armidale branch of Australian
Children's Book Council & Friends of the Library.

SLIDESHARE
I'm hooked.
This site also has many advantages.
I found some of the photos/slides absolutely stunning.
I could spend hours looking, some are not worth looking at
but everyone has thier own tastes.
