#7 iGoogle

This was fun, but there was so much to play with I had trouble deciding on the final look! I think I'll change it regularly so I don't get bored with the look. I did have trouble with the facebook gadget, but maybe I'll play again later.

Week # 6

Had a look at Google tools, there's so much possibility there my head spins. Google maps was familiar, I used it on my recent trip up North to organise accommodation (very useful).

#5 -Myspace and Facebook

I can see uses for Myspace for public libraries but not for a Government department Library. Facebook is great for keeping in touch personally, but again not much use for it workwise.

#4 - RSS feeds

I'm sure everbody has already discovered that RSS feeds can be a very useful tool for the Library field. I will attempt to use it to discover when new publications are added to our departments website, which should make my job a little easier (if it works!)

Week 3

I am getting SO far behind. It's so difficult to find the time to concentrate on the weekly tasks. I've saved an image! I can't see much use for this in the Library, but Library Thing could be used when sending out "New Books" lists.
