What a fantastic journey. One of the best learning experiences I have ever had, and certainly the most comprehensive since finishing my studies. Also the most challenging and enjoyable.
Where to from here? Certainly a more Web 2.0 focussed library after lots of thinking and planning and implementing what we have learned. Blogs, Wikis, MySpace to [...]

This has been so enormous. What a fantastic array of ebooks and downloadable podcasts of books. If ever I thought I needed an MP3 player and a palm pilot (is that right?), now is the time. It became overwhelming when looking for books I would like to download, and so many alternatives came up. A [...]

I created my first Rollyo search roll to search current affairs. I [...]

Wikis are not all like wikipedia, which most people use only as a source of information. They need feeding.
Wikis need a dedicated band of contributors to keep them [...]

Well, I worked it out! I am now connected to Del.icio.us through the widget and should be able to use it very productively. I was trying to tell the widget where to go, but it already knew. I just had to add my login, not the whole address. Again I should have been more perceptive. [...]

I have created my del.icio.us account and had a fun time adding all my favourites to my new bookmarking site. The use of the buttons made it SOOO easy to add every website I have ever found useful, and the tags were great for separating personal from work from web 2.0. The sites we were asked [...]
