Mashups

Had an opportunity to look at Mashups

Created a map highlighting the places I visited in Big Huge Maps and imported image into my Blog.

Investigated google maps and observed how powerful the tool is in highlighting points in the city

You can use google maps to pinpoint the branches of the libraries.

podcasts complete

Enjoyed listening and adding podcasts.

A wonderful way to get ideas across the internet.

It is a good way of teaching.

Podcasts

Our library could use podcasts to inform patrons about promotions the library could be running.

It could broadcast childrens stories read by staff members

sent question to yahoo7

So sent question to Yahoo7 successfully.

Bring on podcasts

Answer boards and social searching

I think there is a place for our librarians to become involved in slamming the boards once a month.

It would allow our staff to brush up on their research skills and build up the libraries profile.

I think it would be great giving patrons the option on commenting on items they have read on a

library blog. It might encourage other library readers to pick up a book based on reading a review

on a our library blog.

tagging, del.icio.us, library thing and others

tagging, del.icio.us, library thing are great websites.

They can be used to keep track of up to date events by our own libraries.

Also we can view as librarians about resources that may be available for purchase

and keeping in touch with developments in our library related fields.

Enjoyable

video online completed

Finished Video online and Youtube.

Great. Amazing what is available.

Preferred Youtube to Google video. The video seemed to be able to download quicker.

However I did find that google video was able to show longer videos
