Week 6: embeding a video



This is " Le Voyage dans la Lune" a 1902 movie depicting a journey to the moon.

Library showcase videos can be used to inform the public.

Week 5 - Wikis

Wikis are great for community/social contacts and even can provide useful general/specific knoweldge.

The only problems I've herd of are with open access wikis in which subjects of a political nature are covered,
In which people of different viewpoints have an editing war.

Wikis can be used by Libraries to promot themselves and their activities, In particular with more internet savvy people.

Week 4: The RSS experience

  • What do you like about RSS and newsreaders? 
     Seems to be a lot more handier than just bookmarking my regular sights.
  • What sites did you select for your RSS reader? 
    ABC News: Top Stories
    Mars Daily
    Powerhouse Museum: Picture of the day
    Statistically Speaking
     Campaigns of General William Augustus Pettygree
    Australian News Agency Blog


  • How do you think you might be able to use this technology in your work? 
    I can use it to keep tack of new periodical titles and events via  such blogs as the Australian News Agency Blog.
  • How can libraries use RSS or take advantage of this new technology?
     We can link all library staff blogs to each other and exchange information.
  • Did you find any good examples of other library blogs?
     Yes Yarra Pleny has a verry nice looking blog.
