the end


I'm not a fan of bebo or facebook etc etc. I don't use them and I don't want to use them, but I understand that other people find them useful and interesting. It's just something I don't need - like aftershave, or bellbottom flares, so I don't use them .

I'm really not sure how these things can be used in a library environment- for what purpose , by whom. I do see how blogs and wikis can be used , so obviously a less old world type person has the imagination to think up how facebook etc could be utilised.


I've really enjoyed doing this course- some of it I will use, some of it I can pass onto library users as the occasion arises, but it was just interesting to learn about all these different things.

To end on a kitty note, here is a photo of Beryl, my new kitten! Cheerio!

online applications

Online applications are a good idea but I found google docs a bit clunky, and hard to find stuff that I needed to do. I wanted to email the document I made from within google docs but it doesn't seem to have a way of that happening. I had to save it to my computer than upload it to google docs then email it. This seems a bit silly to me but as I have said before , I could have missed it.
I made a zoho account and had a look around but they look a lot alike and so I think one is much the same as the other.
The document I made was a powerpoint presentation about my cats !!!! I suppose I will be driving people mad with my cats.....!but I love them.
