Online Applications & Tools - Week 11

I am really amazed at what is now available online and most of the good stuff seems to be free!! Online applications are great if you want to work on a document - if you have left your USB at home it doesn't matter. I can see the benefits of working collaboratively on a document and the ease of access of a file.

Mash Ups - Week 10

I am blown away with the amount of mashups available, and more being created as I speak. Below I have included a Map Maker into my blog. From a library perspective mashups could be handy for a range of things for example in Local Studies where you could mix up images and text with a map from the local area.

Podcasting - Week 9

Using podcasts in the library would be a fantastic idea - you could use it for library tours, instructions of how to use catalogues or search within particular subjects, local history tours, author talks, etc etc etc the list could go on.
