Goodreads, like this, easy to join and to use. A marvellous tool to use with the borrowers who want to know what to read next, who writes like........ etc. there are endless possibilities. The older borrowers could be resistant to the computer but once they were able to use it I feel they would enjoy it. I would use it in tandem with the libraries own lists that appear on our website, most borrowers are comfortable with the library website when they are shown how to use it and access things.

Twitter achieved, not something I would use, not enough time in life to be spending it sending little messages and it presumes one has easy access to a computer at any time. I think the telephone would win for me or a text message. The library use of it is good for quick comments and messages that don't need an instant response, keeps customers in the loop.

An exasperating time locating Zamzar expected a link from the exercise. Google provided the answer and from there it was all good. This is a very, very useful thing to know about and the answer to problems that happen with users of the learnnet. It may be that customers would need to create an email - gmail is ideal for this. The only glitch could be the answer is not immediate and sometimes people do not have time to wait. I am sure I will use this site again and will promote it.

Amazing, have managed to reactivate previous account , must have learnt something.
So web2 again, with some alterations. The time frame is much tighter this time so there is pressure to finish and I plan to work on it at work as my dial up connection at home defeated me last time, too slow for video clips and other tricky things. Will set out with positive thoughts and try not to be beaten, technology can defeat me very easily.
Uses for Blogs in the library world: ideal for promoting discussion about almost anything, helps to know what customers are thinking, informs customers of events, competitions anything to do with the library and its services. Good for feedback, good service, bad service, problems with things, overdues, long waits for requests, too noisy, not enough computers, gives the borrowers a sense of being heard.
