Wow, what a journey this has been for this self confessed technophobe. Just imagine me now with a Blog, having used FlickR, Wikkis, etc etc, etc...... no-one would believe it of me, even if I showed them!.
When we first started doing this course for work, I must admit to some scepticism as to the relevance of all these teenagerish things we were going to learn about. Boy, have I had my eyes opened. This old fuddy duddy had great fun and now feels quite the hip and happening thing. I am going to miss doing these lessons.
Our library has a bit of catching up to do compared to some of the libraries we have learnt about, but we are heading in the right direction. The American and British libraries are certainly way ahead of us Aussies, but I am sure we can catch up. I really loved the Rotorua Library's Bebo profile we explored in this week's lesson was fantastic! What a great library service they appear have - benchmark for us to aspire to, I think.
Thankyou to the State Library for giving us access to such an great course, all without having the arduous journey down to the big, bad, smelly city. I now feel confident enough to actually add book reviews to our library blog and make comments on our staff blog.
It's been great!
This is techno Rose signing off.
