#12 Week Five: Discovery excerise, part 2

I found the SJCPL and the Library Success wikis informative as examples of a library wiki and a wiki manual. I think customers would find readers reviews in the Book Lovers Wiki useful and many would enjoy contributing to them and wondered if a library could use the topic lists to organise events eg meet your fellow crime fans. I also think wikis would be very useful in organising events and conferences, as the video showed with its example of planning a hike

#12 Week 5 Wikis

Looked at the wikis for SJCPL, Book Lovers wiki and Library Success. The first and third were interesting but the Princeton site was more interesting because it made me realise how a library could become an effective social link for people interested in certain subjects and types of novels through its review pages. If there were a lot of interest in a certain topic, the library could set an relaaaated event or programme in the library

#11 Week Four Technology - Cellphones

I do find cellphone texting very useful when on holiday. It is much cheaper than making an ordinary call. I know there is much more that one can do with a cellphone eg use Airpac to rerquest books and check one's own record, E-mail (but not on my older model). Newer mobile phones have a keyboard so are a mobile office, as it were.

Week Four: Flickr Montagr

I enjoyed using Montagr. I searched for statues and cats, selected individual pictures and enlarged them. I did not E-mail a picture to anyone. I found Montagr easy to use after making a guess about how to explore it - there were no instructions. I can see this site could be useful when creating posters.

Week Four; Flickr

This is a landing craft left over from D-Day either at Arromanches or along the coast from it. By accident we saw visited this place on the eve of the anniversary of D-Day.

I checked out Explore and The Tour in Flickr and set up a Flickr account but didn't use for this photograph. Will revisit it later.

Week 3 Rollyo

I've created two brief searchrolls which I may add to later and added two others. Being of the pre-computer generation am suspicious of the reliability of the contributors but then I suppose it is more of an ideas forum than an authorative source. I didn't stop to read contributors' profiles, however. You can view my efforts at http://rollyo.com/feliciana/
