Thing 23

Feedback:
We're particularly interested in:
How could you draw on what you have learned in 23 Things to help you in your work?
A general awareness of all this new information is very useful

How could the library use the technologies featured in 23 Things to improve its service?
By employing chat, having podcasts and instructional videos on the Library website instead of being so text-focussed

How do you think the 23 Things program could be improved in the future?
I think it is good as it is

Do you think you'll keep blogging or keep using any of the other tools you learned about?
Not blogging but I will be using the news update service

Thing 22

I had the good fortune to attend the Library Staff Presentation by Jane Miller demonstrating Skype and if I had broadband at home I would use it myself, however with dial-in I dont think its worth even trying.

I have used chat on gmail. I find that chat is really useful with overseas contacts, very cheap and useful for quick gathering of information when you can fire off questions and answers. I would have used google talk but after several attempts at finding a username gave up - sorry.

I would think that library users would think this a great tool to get questions answered quickly.

Thing 21

I listened to some podcasts. I also added a subscription to BBC Radio 4 Friday night comedy, to my blog, by adding a gadget

Thing 20 and a funny video clip

Browsing YouTube could take all day, and it would be very enjoyable too.

Here is a funny video clip called Karma ...

Thing 19

I added a photo to the VU Wikibrary. As I am pet unencumbered I put a photo I took in Queensland of tiny frogs on a ginger plant, you have to look very carefully to see them.

Wikis are very popular and are useful. I like the VU Wikibrary and it's good to share photos. There are so many new jargon words in this 23 things training.

Thing 18

I looked through and listened to the resources available in Thing 18. It is good to be able to gather information in so many different ways.
I like the objectives with Library 2 to encourage feedback from clients in libraries rather than just giving information out in a one-sided way.

Thing 17

I played with delicious, I asked it a question "whats for dinner" and I received a week of menus for next week. The menu was interesting as it was sponsored by Knorr sauces, so every day the meal was plastered in some sort of blanket of whitish sauce - very amusing.
