23 things

Here we are at the end - I am very proud of myself for finishing. I never thought I could do this.

There are some things I knew about, some things I won't use and some I will not only use, but have started recommending to library users.

Del.icio.us is now tagged on Firefox at home and my favourites are already there.

Thanks to all involved in setting up this training. I would happily participate again.

E books

I have read a lot lately about Kindle and other products - although it may never totally take the place of a printed book it is certainly gaining in popularity. I have added a link to the Rime of the Ancient Mariner

The podcasts are at the right

Web 2.0 awards

I was only going to have a quick look here but I think I found a gem - certainly something I would want to read.

I chose the books list and found lulu and looking at the history stuff I was surprised at so much Australian stuff.

And a book on women in Victoria that you can download for free! I may have trouble getting away from this site.

Our foremothers by Geraldine Roberts

Here's the link

Zoho again

I found this really frustrating - I couldn't use the publish to blog part in spite of a lot of time trying.

Here's what I created

Life is mostly froth and bubble, Two things stand like stone,

Kindness in another's trouble, Courage in your own

I may give Zoho a miss. I don't need to tell librarians where the quote is from, do I?

Zoho

I have created a document - I will try to use the functions for posting - let's see how we go. Not working very well.
