Week 5 Wikis

I had a look at the suggested wikis and I think that the Library Success best practices wiki will be quite helpful to me in my studies as well as into the future. One of my main concerns with wikis is their validity( as with any web site) and I was pleased to see that you had to create an account to edit an article and I also like the idea of an invite key.

Anyway onward and upwards to Week 6.

RSS

Finally finished Week 4. I can see the benefit in RSS and newsfeeds but I still like using my favourites as most of them don't have feeds attached. It took me a while to work out how to add a list of feeds to my blog but I finally did it and now I can look forward to wikis.

Week 3

Seeing I can't take any photos of the library I thought I would treat you all to some photos of our garden in the first blush of spring.

As you can see from my earlier post I was able to upload a photo from flickr. I had trouble with it until I read the hints from Ellen at SLNSW and even then I was not really sure of what I was doing. It's definitely a new learning curve

Well I finally have time to start the Library 2.0 journey now that TAFE is finished for the year and as I can't really do anything else at the moment I thought I would exercise a different set of brain cells. I am not very savvy when it comes to doing on line training as my eyes seem to glaze over while I am trying to follow instructions and, initially I was not keen to blog, but my colleagues who were of the same opinion have coped well and enjoyed the process (even through all the frustrations)
