Week 12
Social Networking in Libraries for client interaction, marketing and networking opportunities is endless. What a wonderful tool to reach people about the Library it is an online newsletter where we can reach everyone to promote the Library services, children's area and activities, book reviews with interaction between clients, showcase storytime, holiday programs, author visits and exhibitions.
Week 11
Google Docs in the Library will make it a lot faster to communicate with other Librarians within the Riverina Regional Libraries as meeting notes can be received and changed instantly by all. Proof reading of Library newsletters and newspaper articles by our manager will be responded to much quicker and alterations can be made at a faster rate. This will save a lot of time and emails going back and forth between people.

Week 10
Mashups are great fun and could be used in the Library to promote our resources. Big Huge Labs had great ideas to experiment with. I could spend lots of time with Mashups.
Week 9
Podcasting is a great medium for people to listen to or watch. interested listeners or watchers can receive updates through RSS when new content is posted.
Examples of this in the Library would be to record Talking Books, Children's Storytime, Author Visits and lectures. It would be useful in the teaching of technology ie: computer courses.
Podcasts whether it be Audio or Video is a quick and convenient way of transferring information to your computer, or other mediums such as an MP3 Player or Video Player.

Week 8
The answer boards gives Librarians the opportunity to receive questions and answer questions. Borrowers would think this is a fabulous way of reviewing and or rating books they read through using stars, comments etc.
Answer boards are a great way of people becoming more aware of Libraries and sharing information. Libraries could have a link on their web to talk on line to borrowers during opening hours.

Tagging and Social Bookmarking are useful means for anyone on the web to access information and to utilise their information. It helps to organise, retrieve and share online resources.
Library Thing allows you to create your own personal online catalogue of books, Rate and categorise (tag) books you have read. Find new books to read by similar authors or on similar topics. Get book recommendations. Interact with people who enjoy the same reading interests. You can check out other people's libraries, see who has the most similar library to yours and swap reading suggestions.
In Libraries for example a student may wish to look for information on a project ie: Japan other useful information which has been tagged by other students can then be accessed.

Week 6
I enjoyed looking at the Google Video more so than Youtube. Saw heaps of possibilities to use Google Video within a library, Great fun looking at the different activities happening within the Mosman Library.
Youtube or Google Video would be a useful tool to promote the library and the services that we provide. Examples would be Storytime, Author Visits, Exhibitions, Visual display of our collection of fiction, non fiction books, DVD's, magazines, picture books, westerns, reference material. We could promote what services are available in our technology room of the library, including computers, photocopier, playstation, etc.
Youtube or Google Video would be beneficial to members who were unable to come into the Library. They could listen to a Video of a visiting Author or watch a video of an exhibition in the comfort of their own home.
