Podcasts
Podcasts are great, and something that can be easily utilised by the library. Just looking through the library success wiki there is an amazing variety in the use of the podcast. We could use podcasts book discussions, author talks, information about services that are offered and maybe for staff how to use certain resources??? The list is endless.

It often surprises me on people seem to be unaware of what there library can do for them, or what librarian actually do. This is a great way of showing people we can search for an find information. But really, do they realise it is from a librarian? and will they think to use the skills of their local librarian? I* would like to think so, but I doubt it.
I'm not sure how it could be applied to the local library, but it is something to think about. We need to remind people what we can do.

Library Thing, Delicious, Technorati
All of these were interesting, and if only I had more time to spend on them all I think I would become addicted!!!!
I love delicious and how it can be applied to the public library, the AskNow resources are great and to have them easily available and accessible is fantastic.

Online Videos
Yep, I am trying to complete the course, but I do enjoy all the sidetrack and adventures that can be taken along the way.
This week has been interesting, anything in I can think of there seems to be a video on. The only frustrating thing is I must be using at a busy time as there are lots of pauses when I try to watch something.
Online videos can add a whole new level to what is available to the library customer and a whole new level of promoting what we have available for the customer. Great for both internal and external usage as well.
Now off to try and embed a video......
