Week 10: Mashups

This is another good technology for libraries to use. This could be used to create posters or images to place around the library for a function or activity that is being held. On the other side to put on a blog or wiki to make the site more appealing for the people using it.

Week 9: Podcasting

this is a fantastic technology that libraries can use. this would be really good for promoting what the library has coming up such as the events for the christmas holidays so that all parents and children don't have to come into the libray to see what is coming up soon or this could be used for storytime recordings for those children that can't make it to these times for various commitments so they can listen when they get home from preschool or when going to bed.

Week 8: Answer boards and social searching

Answer boards are a fantastic idea for a library especially for students and general inquiry questions from the public. this would help a lot of people who have left their assignment to the last minute and need some help urgently such as a book review or help with a understanding a question as a librarian will be on the end to help them as soon as possible.
This would also be good for people who want to rate the services provided by the library as they can tell the libray worker and this can be assessed or put up for a poll for people to comment on.

Librarything

LibraryThing is a great source for library workers as it is quick and easy to find what an author has written such as j.d. robb. It is an up to date and current website that makes it easy to search and find an answer instead of searching through lots of useless of websites to find an answer to a straightforward question such as what is the name of the most recent book published by so and so?
