A further post

Well, as suggested in lesson 5 I've looked on Zoho Writer and Google Docs but couldn't work out how to save what I was writing there onto my blog - clicking on Save to Blog in Zoho Writer just made the page go grey, and in Google Docs I'm not sure what happened. Any suggestions?

I've also checked Google books. How fabulous! I'm sure this will be very useful for me.

Back again!

Hello all! Well, after a slight delay (caused by my momentary inability to work out how to add a new blog!) I'm back. I've read the suggested articles suggested under lesson 4, and have to say I liked what I read. A few points in particular spring to mind. Firstly, I like the idea that "library services are constantly updated and re-evaluated to best serve library users". I also like the idea that feedback from and participation by the library users are encouraged. As a librarian, I think it is important that library staff respond to the needs of their users, rather than just providing what we think they need.

Next, some points in Business 2.0 also appealed to me, particularly the idea that space has vanished. Libraries and the services they offer should no longer be defined and confined by the walls holding the traditional library collection. This links to the new definition of Libraries 2.0, which I find exciting, especially when it suggests "it is about what the technology is allowing us to do." Wow! I'm looking forward to finding out!

I'll catch up soon

P.S. I thought I'd be a bit more adventurous with my background. Hope you like it!

My first blog

Well, here I am, blogging on my own blog for the first time. I'm not sure where this will lead me, but I'm glad to have begun the journey. I'm undertaking this as part of a professional development programme at the outer Melbourne Christian school in which I work, and am looking forward to learning a new set of skills. I hope there will be some people who will take the journey with me!
