Week 12: Wrap up; social networks and catch up

Finally week 12 I did not think I would make it.

Social networking could be a great tool to interact with our clients. We could use it to receive feedback from our borrowers, suggestions in regard to our collection etc. It could be a lot of work to set up initially but the benefits to our clients would be great. You could also use it to further promote events that you are running and future events, post author talks and library discussion groups.

Cheers Di.

Week 11: Online applications and tools

I did not realise how much free software was out there. It makes you wonder why software companies still produce and sell such expensive products.

I can see the library use for Google docs and other online tools as I am currently doing some work on readers advisory for my library and having all the info in one area that other staff can edit and add to the document makes the process much easier and faster.

Cheers for now
