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.

Have used Big Hugh Labs to frame an image that I have taken from the internet. Looked at some other image generators. Don't know whether I would use this in my work or not, the images I found fairly basic, graphic and illustrative; could be useful but I prefer something more original.

Have looked at ways of framing photos just the basics at the moment but can see possibilities for the future use.

Antony Gormley's project done in Australia of the human figure; a series of these sculptures is now a part of the NGV International Collection.

Hi

Flickr is great and I could see it being used as a community exchange, or for Local History photos. It all came together for me when I received through my Genielist the details of a two day trip to Ballarat by the Local History Interest Group and therefore the sharing of information through text and photos was relevant.

Hi

Have looked at Technorati didn't fully understand and Feedster lots of information but don't know how relevant.

Hi

I have found the RSS feeds a challenge and still struggling to understand the concepts but am getting there I think

Hi,

I have finally got an understanding of Flickr and the saving of images.

Interesting reflections on Kiki's imagery.

Little Red Riding Hood a new interpretation of a fairytale.

Kiki Smith a wonderful artist worth looking at her work.
