Hello all, this blog has been set up as part of an exercise with Edith Cowan Libraries look at Web.2 A small group of us has to go through ECU's list of 23Things
in 9 weeks. Hopefully should be a bit of a challenge and some fun.
I have set up my Gmail email and started up this Blog with very little bother really. I found the hardest part was picking a name for the blog. It seems really personal thing to say about yourself. I have a friend who has her own blog, and she has a great nickname for herself and is a very entertaining writer. So it makes me feel a bit intimidated by the whole thing, I guess I am a bit competitive, and a bit daunted by the public availablity of blogs.
I had no trouble with the week one readings, I suspect that is the easy part. It was interesting to see how they thought Web 2 could relate to libraries. Having buttons on our databases so that students could chat live to librarians was a good example. How would this work? Maybe the rostered desk librarian could interupt a person in front of them to answer a little chat that appears on their screen. You would expect it to be instant.
It seems we are on the way having completed a few podcasts in the past couple of months. What will be next for ECU Lib? Stay tuned...

Hey, that's great....like the name. yes, being so public takes a bit of getting used to. JG
Great photo - I must add a picture to my blog it looks so much better.
Interesting comments about reference rosters - maybe we won't be out front so much but have a team of trained staff who can refer difficult questions and handle other questions from the floor. ELLE
The public thing... someone once told me not to write anything you wouldn't want read on the front page of a newspaper!

Hi Nikki
You are so right. I think we would put this picture on the front page of a newspaper though. I feel that I am getting the hang of this blogging now. I will have to think about some practical work uses so I can get some inspired comment.
You should all feel the same as I look forward to hearing the comments.
