Week 6...........Youtubing

Well, I've done it now. Managed to upload a video of my 4th grandson playing onto my blogsite. Check it out.......one successfull upload but I can't remove the other 3 samples. Never mind....I'm sure someone at the training session tomorrow will be able to assist me , I hope. Little Finn's dad is a very keen youtuber, and constantly uploads videos so that his mother at home in Ireland can view her grandchild back here in Australia. What a great way to keep up with the growth and development of a loved one when you can't be there in person. I can see endless uses for this method of video up loads in our work environment. Apart from staff training sessions, we could capture many videos about our lovely surrounds here in the mountains for our local studies department. I have finally reached the halway point in this training......yeh.

Week 5 and Wikis

I'm doing my homework now and reviewing those reccommended wiki sites. Discovered the book review section in the Bookloverswiki site for Princeton public library and was impressed with links back to the library catalogue and the ability to reserve these items. Not interested in anything Star wars related so gave any serious study of Wooieepedia away. Found travel links in the libraryforlife.org link at the SJCPL subject guides wiki which were very informative. At at another time I may try to see if we have some wikis more relevant for Australian travellers abroad, because anyone who knows me well is aware of my great desire for travel abroad especially to Europe.
Our own library blog has book reviews and the ability for comments to be added, so not sure whether we need to go to the Wiki business side of things, however this is an excellent way to invite participation from our local library community.
