exercise 23 -- hooray!

I am absolutely stunned and quite proud of myself that I have finally finished! ( I must say with a huge amount of help and encouragement from my colleague Trevor.) To be honest, there has been much information that I have not understood but on the whole, it has been a worthwhile exercise if only for the fact that I now know what a blog is and will also be checking youtube every day for more fabulous music clips! YEEHAH!

exercise 22

This most certainly is "the end is in sight! How amazing all of this is - but I can't help wondering what will be left for libraries to provide! A changing world indeed.

exercise 21

I have watched a podcast tutorial - helpful because, as any person reading my blog will have realised by now, I am being dragged out of the ark regarding all things computer related! I liked the definition of a podcast as a radio show - simple and easy to understand. I checked 3 of the more popular podcast directories - podcast.net led to "unabellavista": How to tour Italy - from Michelangelo's smelly feet to today's Roman taxis - nothing's sacred it seems!

exercise 20

Loved this one! Had a look at youtube and found a fantastic clip of Billy Joel singing Piano Man on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZ1_M_L_RSI

exercise 19

For this exercise, I selected from the short list of Web 2.0 awards nominees, choosing travel as a category. I explored "Farecast"' "Kayak" and "realtravel", all informative and potentially useful for travel planning.

exercise 18

After reading the glowing testimonies about google docs, am wondering if it would be a good system for streamlining the display and exhibition timetables at the library?

exercise 17

After scrolling down thru hundreds of favourite travel destinations, my wonderful mentor, Trevor, has just told me that one needs to be a staff member for that unpronouncable library in the States to be able to add to this site! Oh dear! I could have spent all that time working on the next exercise!
