Podcasting
There are so many libraries out there podcasting.( Mainly American) I can see that it would be a fantastic tool in libraries where there are many visiting speakers. The State Library of NSW would have many talks to podcast. What could the smaller libraries podcast? At Erina library there is a living library. Wouldn't it be a great idea to podcast some of these talks so that any interested people who cannot make it to the library during the advertised times, could hear the stories these interesting people tell. Just need the time and the technology to do so.
On a lighter note its great that the ABC podcast. The missed Summer Heights High episodes and the missed Chaser edisodes are 2 examples of programs that couldn't be missed. Thanks ABC Molly

Slamming the Boards with Young Students
Answer boards seem to be a great idea but are we making finding information too easy if children can email a librarian on an answerboard site to gain instant information. It is really important that the librarians show children how to find the information not to just tell the children the answer to their question. Children expect information to be instant. What they have to be shown is that there are ways and steps to finding information and these are the ways professional librarians believe will help you in finding what you need. Lets not spoon feed children. They have to learn how to find the correct information in a world saturated in good and bad information.
As I am far behind everyone else I would love to go back and review what I have learnt so far as I have already forgotten soooo much but I have to move on as I am well and truely being left behind by my Learning 2.0 colleagues. I would love to put a picture here and there to smarten up my blog but time is running short. Molly

Rating and Reviewing items or services in the collection
Magazines
As we are so limited with the magazines we purchase in our branch, it may be a good idea to ask the customers for their opinions as to what magazines they would like to see on the shelves.
Customers for book express at the local railway station could also comment on the new items purchased or what they feel should be added to a commuters library trolley. As we are so limited with space we need quality not quantity. Why not listen to what the customers want. Molly
