Task 23 - Comment

Phew! all done - feels great that I have finally finished. I have learned some interesting things and am pleased to have done the program. The 23 Things team plan to develop some new Tasks for 2008, so really, I haven't finished at all!!!!!!!!!

Task 22 2nd Life

Have had a good look at 2nd life and have been to a talk by Kathryn Greenhill or should I say Emerald Dumont from Cybercity2 (Murdoch University) on Second Life - think it looks ok but I can't really see it being my thing. I think it is great that Libraries are exploring this different dimension and will be watching with interest to see how it all develops.

Task 18

Have read lots over the last year about Library 2.0.- The comment on our 23 Things about "The Library 2.0 movement is really about innovation, people and community building." I think Libraries have always been about these things. I really like the concept of our Library world becoming a two way street - bring it on!!!! Once again the SirsiDynix site has some interesting podcasts to have a look at. http://www.sirsidynixinstitute.com/archive.php

Task 21 Podcasts

I have set the Sirsi Dynix Institute podcasts up in my Google Reader and have also tagged them into deli.ci.ous. They have just done a podcast on Roving which might be interesting

Guide to Roving: An Essential Service for Library 2.0

"Both Public and Academic Libraries are encouraging their staff to step out from behind their desks and reach out to their "hidden customers" - the 50 % or more - those thousands of customers - who are reluctant to approach staff at the Reference desk and so remain un-served."

Task 20 Youtube

I love Youtube and have found some very funny clips, I have already put on the one about the Medieval technology and I loved the one Andrea had on her blog with the singing in the Library - it was like watching one of those excruciating/embarrassing musicals! I really felt for the students who were studying.

Task 19 Pet on wiki William Carlsson

Hi, Have William finally up on the pet page. It took me a few goes; my biggest problem was resizing the photo as I couldn't find the recommended software on the NAL. Matt came to my rescue and we used a free photo resizer software. It was easy to use and very quick to install.
William is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and is about two years old. He is an older version of Madeleine's Charlie. He has a lovely nature, nice but with a cheeky edge. He now has met more of the neighbours than we have!! as we are finally in our new house and until the fences are built he finds ways to escape and being very socialable he goes to visit the neighbours esp. if they have a cat.

Task 17 Yummy or was it just delicious

Have had a play with Del.icio.us. I joined, I added it to Facebook and I will now know 8 ways to instantly calm myself and will be advised on some good books to read.
