Task 23 - Feedback

I am glad that I am finally posting this last task before I go on leave. I'd love to learn new things especially to keep up to date with new technologies eventhough they are not really relevant to my current job. Thanks to Phung who was a great helper when I got stuck. I've learnt lots of new things and enjoyed doing some of the activities as they are useful for personal use. For the library to improve its service, possibly online communication services as mentioned in task 22 would be helpful for reference enquires.

Task 22 - Online communication tools

I never used online communication tools before although I see lots of people using these to communicate. My sister is a fan of online chat. She enjoys using it because she can see the other person through her web cam and it saves her heaps with long distance phone calls charge. Anyway, I added Google Talk to my blog in case I need to use it. I think it is very useful having these services offer in the libraries to communicate with students outside the libraries as many libraries around the world already have been using these communication tools.

Task 21 - Podcasts

There are so many podcasts on Health to choose. Just added one from the list to my Google Reader blog.

Task 18 - Library 2.0

It's my first time experience with Encore- the new library catalogue search interface. I quite like it. It also provides access to all the sources traditionally available via the catalogue and yet there are more features added e.g., enable to refine search result, spell check etc…

Task 20 - YouTube Videos

This video shows how to upload a video to YouTube.

Task 19 - Wiki

I used to have a dog but it passed away. Can't affort to have a new one and have time looking after it. Found a photo of sad puppies looking for a new home which is advertised on Trading Post. I have posted it on the VU Wiki Library.

Task 17 - Delicious things

I signed up for a delicious account and found some interesting websites. Took quite a bit of time thinking what appropriate key words I should use in Tag field.
