Web 2.0 : Final Post

This time Web 2.0 experience is quite pleasant as we are quite familiar with most of the Web2.0 tools and technologies. Zamzar is great for users with file conversion. We have to keep up with technology and libraries can use these new technologies to improve and provide better services.
Online survey completed.
Good-bye.

Week 6: Facebook

Libraries can use Facebook to store their albums of photos or even slide-shows. Library customers can easily view pictures of past events. It is an amazing tool to communications with messages, comments or updates. I enjoy viewing photos of and friends and family. A great site for social networking.Viewed Hobbs Public Library- a site for friendship and networking.
Look for May See in My Facebook.

Week 5: Music Files

There are many sites offering free music download. It depends and most sites reqiured a Login and password. I Google search "free leagal mp3 download" a hugh list came out. Suggestions to use modern browsers like Firefox etc.. for better upload. Mp3 users will have a hugh choice. Just found time to browse Amazon MP3store and MP3.com. Young customers would be able to use such sites.

Week 4 : Books and social networking

Goodreads is great for library users. Signing up is easy and it is a free easy site to follow. For readers' advisory, I will certainly use this tool to show customers how to choose books online. We can promote and help customers to sign up in libraries easily. Goodreads also allows users to join a variety of reading group to encourage reading widely.

Week 3 : Twitter

It is very easy to join Twitter, not many Questions asked. But I had a start problem of signing in. I tried for a week, then with a change of password before I could tweet. It is a great site to post short messsages. Found @manukau_Libs and follow the tweetstream. Now it looks smooth sailing and have done my first two TWeets today .Certainly it is a great site for library users, an instant source of information, maybe the library phones won't be ringing (What time is the library closed). Library can use this site to advertise their product or use it as a reminder for customers to attend programmes. Young customers won't hesitate to use twitter, library need to promote this to the elderly customers.



My twitter username is 23May.

Week 2 : Zamzar

Week 2 : Zamzar



Google search Zamzar. Use it for file conversion. It is very easy to use. Promote this site to customers but they may have to wait a while for the document to be delivered to their email.

Yes we can use in the learn-net, no more waiting to download programmes.It is free.

Week 1 : Blogger:

Week 1 : Blogger:

Web 2.0 again. An online self discovery that encourages the use of 2.0 tools and new technologies. Another experiment to explore the new web 2.0.

No fear, I am a fish in the ocean swimming and exploring.

Public library can use a blog. No need the quarterly customers' survey forms and clickers. Blogging can keep ourselves and customers up- to- date.
