Videos

I checked both Google Video and You Tube. I prefer to use Google Video than You Tube. It's more organised and easy to use. It also shows videos from You Tube as well so Google is a one stop shop for everything.Libraries can use this to share their expertise and important events. Penrith Library has gone through a big refurbishment recently and we can see moving shelves on the You Tube. Following link will take you there:

Wikis

Wikis are great for projects and group assignments as compare to e-mails. I am using Wiki in my distance education to do a group assignment. Some times it feels like a dashboard or a noticeboard where everyone is writing their notes for others in their team. I think Wiki's are really good as internal staff newsletter where everyone can add and go to read latest happenings in one go rather than e-mails.

week 4 RSS feeds

I am back again after a busy time. Full time work, children,study and learning this new tecnology, any thing you can imagine for 21st century women!
I think RSS feeds are great to keep up with your favourite websites. In this way you can check them all at one place when ever you need them. We don't need to sift through all the junk mail that we receive often via our e-mails.
In my RSS feeds I found this Interesting link called, The Shifted Librarian. There are intersting articles. Check it yourself.
