Thing 4

Used the Hockeyniser in BigHughLabs, reminded me of Hockney's use of polaroid in his art, particularly the 'Grand Canyon' in the National Gallery of Australia.

Section of the 'Grand Canyon' or to see the full image go to David Hockey

My result is not quite in the same league!! Local area of Flemington in the lat 19th century not quite the same as the Grand Canyon. 

I have been using goodreads as an alternative to Librarything for a while now.  Am familiar with all the options.  Books I have added to Goodreads I must of joined in November 2011, although I don't use it every week just now and then. 

Thing 3 - Audio Books

Had a look at ClipperEbsco titles, joined as a member, of the titles available Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel would be Ok as a e-book, as a big read 700 plus pages easier to read in e format, unless of course you are ill and have several days in bed to loll around drinking tea and eating cake.

Using Bolinda easier as no need to join and have another username and password, whereas Bolinda using your library card instead is more convenient, is this correct?  Great to see the Phryne Fisher series being borrowed in e format and the influence of  a TV series.

Thing 2

I already have the mvlshistory twitter account, am I able to use this account for Thingy 2 as I am unable to use the same email, does this make sense.   I had to complete a Social Media form explaining the rational and reasons for having a twitter account on the topic of family and local history. Will start to add the hashtag to my tweets.

Week 1 - Thing 1

The start of a re-vamped blog, hoping to pick up and experiment with new techniques and images.  My blog may be image focused rather than text focused.  I will be just cruising along and see where it takes me. 

Week 6

Web 2.0
Back to my blog after absence of some time due to other things happening, read two of the articles on the future for libraries and community involvement. This is connecting to the communities through technology, but could be a balance act between technology and human interaction, not only sitting at a PC sending messages/information to colleagues or members of the library service, which this info may be superfulous to the person receiving it, making what libraries are about relevant to a changing society and not just information for the sake of information , whatever that maybe.

Into a new world of librarianship, this articles discusses the role of librarians in the future and the different approaches to the profession.

Have done the exercise with Rollyo.

Have looked at Library Thing and added the five books found this easy enough, however have had a problem with adding it to my blog, page error, will have another look at it and ask a staff member what I am doing wrong.
