Well I have finally worked through this particular part of Learning 2.0 and can certainly see the benefits of using such software in the library sytem.
The uses of this such thing is endless, librarian networking, storytelling networking, geneology, historians, book groups etc, etc, and so on

Sooo...this is Delicious...mmm!

Learning Wikis

2008-03-31T15:36:00.002+11:00

The Wikis I viewed from Learning 2.0 were interesting in that they covered a variety of sites/topics and yet the same kind of application could be used. Ain't technology wonderful.
Wikis in the library system can be used in a miltitude of ways form Local History (such as Montana History) through to Popular Titles, Reading and Book Clubs for adults and children as well as titles and craft achivities for Story Time goers

What I learned today about RSS'S..thats a lot of ssssss's....And what did I like about it.
Well the amount of time saved has to be a bonus...life's too short to be look, look, looking!
I liked the sites that reflected my interests ie gardening, images and library issues.
This technology is valuable for library work in respect of different ares of the library ie childrens areas, current news items and geneology work.
Didn't have much time to search Rss's as we are restricted in the time spent on this learning course but what I did find was great...Especially loved the Powerhouse Museum "Picture of the Day"

Ahhh....flying. Don't you love it.
Well some do and some don't. Its a bit like learning...some do and some don't.
Me?...well I like it. Call it "yoga for the brain"...yep, sometimes it hurts but think of the benefits you accomplish!
So...what I'd like to learn is more about the idiocincrisies of the internet. I know its not human but it is certainly evolving continually. The jargon, the path ways to grt there and how and what to do with them when you get there.
Also...does'nt make you look like a dork when ta patron asks..."What's this?"
Lifelong learning gives all the benefits of "mental yoga". I think U3A have got the right idea.. no mattter the age we can all learn something!
I thought "blogging" was just for the youth but have discovered the benefits for organisations, groups nad even library services to gain information on selected topic. I see the benefits for historical groups and societies to "put the word out there"to gather information for present and future generations.
I can see a sucessful blog happening by a local landcare group who are investigating sand mining in the 1950's and 60's in our local area. You know I may just do that!
Blogging for a client audence is certainly the way to go on the "super web highway".

Go the BLOG!!!
