Wrap Up

It was great to complete the program and having learned heaps along the way.
I will certainly be looking forward to implementing some of these great tools in our library service.
Social Networking certainly offers a lot more than I realised and it would be really great to see our library on facebook.
Many thanks to the SL for providing this great avenue for learning and we look forward to more of the same in the future.

Online applications and tools

I was amazed at how easy and simple to use the google docs was and didn't realise how many application were out there.
Great for sharing documents with staff in remote locations across our region.
I can see we will be able to use these applications to improve our library service.

Mashups

Mashups are a lot of fun it was great to experiment with the different aspects on offer.
Big huge labs is a really good site and makes it easy. There are many applications for libraries with the only restriction being the time available.

Answer Boards and Social Searching

Answer boards are a great tool and are informative, helpful and even funny.
There are some great ones that you can share with people of similar interests.
I also think promoting Libraries through answer boards could be very useful.

Social Searching is one of the great points about Libraries 2.0

Delicious and Library Thing

Delicious ......It was great fun exploring this site and I think the name does say it all!
Library thing was also an interesting adventure I would love to see Library Thing incorporated into our online library catalogue and have already put it on my to do list.

Take it to the limit!!!!!

I really enjoyed exploring the world of video being an area I had not much experience in. It is easy to see the advantages available to libraries and amazing to see what libraries are already doing. I can see libraries using this area for many different projects.
