Wow! I finally got here at last. One of the main things I learnt here is to be aware of the technologies that can assist with library users accessing the library. The library is now not just a building with walls but an entity that pervades all areas globally.
Favourite discoveries, experiences
Favorite discoveries are del.icio.us and rollyo for searching and generating bookmarks. Setting up my blog was a lot of fun and I wished I had more time to experiment with it. Podcasts I am exploring more and plan to use them to enhance library service delivery. Getting familar with RSS feeds was also a useful exercise.
The unexpected was how far web based applications programs have come such as Zoho for generating blogs, database applications and many others that you can do on any PC anywhere.
Effect on lifelong learning goals
One of the main things I got out of this exercise is to keep learning, testing and using the new technologies which are continually changing. This is more than the beginning, it is a continuance of my life long learning experience. I will continue learning some of these web applications in more depth and apply them in my liaison work
What could we do differently to improve upon this program’s format or concept?
I have grown up with the beginnings of data communications and the age of the internet which is always changing. Links to web applications do keep on changing and this makes it hard to try to improve the structure this course anymore.
Finally, if there are any more discovery programs offerred in the future, I would probably do it.
