A big thank you

Thank you to the NSW Public Libraries Learning 2.0 Team for putting the learning activities together enabling so many of us to have an understanding of this wonderful world of the web. It has been very enlightening and I would never have thought it possible that I would create my own blogg. My 22 year old daughter was quite impressed! At least I know now what she is talking about when she says she is using facebook.

I look forward to any further training packages that you may offer and can only add
"Bring em on!!"

THANK YOU.

Week 12 Social Networks

Social Networking is not for me personally. I still prefer making contact by email to my friends and retaining a sense of privacy.

I however do believe that there is a definate place for social networking in our society. In particular giving country kids a medium to stay in contact with each other after moving away to the 'big smoke' for uni. So many friendships fall by the wayside due to lack of contact but is a way of ensuring the contact is not broken and if they feel alone they just have to log on and be with their friends.

I moved away from my home town to join the Army in 1975 and lost contact with so many of my friends over the years. If social networking was available then at that age I would jumped on board and embraced the concept whithout a second thought.

Week 11 Online applications and tools

I enjoyed completing this task and found it quite easy. Does this mean I am finally getting an understanding of what we have been taught because it is not so daunting now.

Once again being in a small country town I can't really see how this can be of use to our library. I would love to be in a larger library system where all of what we have learnt could be more better utilized. Coming from a large hospitality club where I had an admin role I can see so many ways in which this would have been so handy to have known about, for example using Microsoft Publisher and not being able to open earlier versions that what we had.
