week whatever it is...Mashups

I have managed to mash-up I think . In the simplest sense of course.
I guess we could use these kind of things for advertising the library.
We could use mashups on our council home page which has links to the library.
I would have to think about clever ways to mix media and text and other fancy stuff but really worth thinking about.
I will now go and view other blogs to see what has been achieved.
Might make another posting on this.

Podcasts etc

We have zoomed through podcasts and vodcasts.
Can see a future in the larger libraries but we would need to learn about downloading them onto MP3 players and discs and coprright etc.
Went to the ABC site and listened to Dr Norman Swan 's health report.
Looked at an educational database which would be great for HSC students who need to listen to something explained rather than read and interpret themselves.
Di linked by RSS a health podcast to her blog.

week 8 answer boards etc

Okay, Had a look at the answer board librarians wiki and thought it was great.
Will go back and have a closer look as this is a morning of full on study to finish the Libraries learning stuff.
Eventually I'm sure someone will come to me at work and I'll use some of this stuff to help them.

You tube week 6

back to week 4 and RSS

I discovered that I hadn't added RSS feeds to the blog.
I think I had it before but hadn't transferred it to my blog so success at last.
Maybe I'll look for the lost ones later.


Renewing my knowledge of Flikr etc and posting pictures. Trying to make it all easier! Hah!
This is a very quiet little campsite by Lankeys Creek complete with resident camels!
This was probably taken in spring as it can get very dry at Lankeys and the fire restriction period starts fairly early.

resolutions

This is a September resolution to get back into it at last.
I am even having trouble remebering if I had completed the tasks properly.

It was a relief to find out that I had used the RSS aggregator and edited a Wiki, so am actually onto week six which I know I started!
After a lot of searching and going through my notes and passwords, I think the moral of the story is...... stick in or you'll only confuse yourself and get in a big muddle.

Let's see if I can take my own advice.
