Week 2 : Zamzar - converting file formats

Wow. As easy as 1,2,3,(and 4) :) converting file formats from doc. to pdf for example, or docx to doc, a bmp image into a jpeg file.  Conversions of various image, audio video and document files.  All I had to do was to find a file in my documents (step1), chose what format I wanted to change it into (step 2) sending it onto my email account (step 3) and then clicking 'convert' (step 4), whilst agreeing to Zamzar terms. All that was left for me to do was to get the files from my email account.


Like I said, so easy to use for our patrons or for ourselves, and with all of the various file formats, well worth using in the future ..and it's free as well.

Week 1 - Blogger

This is my second blog, my first blog was when I began my adventure with learning 2.0. I think the only thing I fear about 2.0 is that I would end up spending too much time on it :) Our libraries could use a blog as a form of communication with our patrons, or between colleagues. We could have gadgets; or short librarian bio's; a photo a day in our libraries. We could also include a pb wiki or other forms of access for our patrons, so that they maybe able to tell us how we could be of better service. We could do so much...
