Hawthorn Hawks - team song

Moving Pictures

What about me?? Yes I believe getting out there into YouTube etc is a great place for libraries to be. Loved the video about the Reference library, quite inviting and covered alot of aspects in a short space of time.

RSS feeding Council

Finally I know how to activate RSS feeds. I noticed recently that nearly every publication accessed in ProQuest has an RSS feed icon next to it.
Watch out Council staff! The library could teach the Council staff about using RSS to stay on top of their industry, or we could set up these RSS feeds - didn't they used be called SDI - selective dissemination of information??
What's next?

Ch is my favourite thing

There is something about things that start with "Ch". My favourites being champagne, chicken and cheesecake. A great combination don't you think?

Beyond the Web

Technology is simply a tool to be harnessed. Learning the skills and applying them to our work will ensure we understand and embrace these new tools. Businesses don't always have time to look in many places so this will provide a doorway through which to travel into the library. They will be able to see and feel an otherwise intangible service. To experience the satisfaction (not frustration), to understand the information (not be overloaded) and trust the sources (valid not unknown) can all be expressed with web 2.0 tools. Hammers and nails, wood, glue and saws - web 2.0 learning is OHS for the virtual world.
