Final Post


Yep my final post...hehe. I think I will be forever doing this blog :). From the creation of this blog through to my placing comments on a lot of the other blogs...and there were a many, so many that I ended up 'befriending' everyone in the end...well those who had the friend application. Twitter, Facebook and downloading mp3 files weren't new to me and the benefits/and or otherwise, I have mentioned in previous posts. Zamzar was by far my favourite, because of the benefits to myself and to our customers, and GoodReads I found exciting because it was new to me and I found out so much info about books that I would have otherwise not looked at.

A huge negative with web 2.0 was the fact that I never had enough time as well as working in the main library (customers still thought I was on call and I ended up spending more time helping them whilst losing track of my work). So I ended up doing most of my blog at home.

A huge positive is that I really did enjoy doing web 2.0 and I am looking forward to continuing this training. As I have previously said, "I do love learning."

Wow, another blog in the name of Learning 2.0. This is an online self-discovery exercise, which would help Manukau City Library staff further our 'expertise' and therefore help our many patrons in the various online queries that are presented to us daily.
The programme will cover six weeks and begin with this blog (week 1), followed by Zamzar (week 2) in which I will learn how to convert file formats. In week 3 I will be setting up a Twitter account and in week 4 I'll be signing up with ‘goodreads’ which combines books and social networking. This is followed up in Week5 with learning how to download music and mp3 files where I'll be exploring the various free music websites as well as downloading a mp3 file. I will visit Facebook in the 6th week and finally we've been shown what we could be doing in the future to further our knowledge on the internet.
