Hooray week 14 Facebook

I say hooray as I have now completed 2.0 and because Facebook looks like a fun way of communication if you make sure you are careful with security and privacy.
This would be fantastic for people who are housebound, lonely or just have the time and desire to have chats with different types of people.
It is also a very convenient and personal way of communication with family, or friends who are overseas, sending them them photos of family events and places you visit etc.
The Library can use Facebook to make the public aware of just how many things we have to offer and by getting clients feedback to help improve or introduce new ideas.

Online Applications week 13

How great for students doing joint projects and here I go with and idea that is probably inappropriate but if it was feasible the Library could make use of Online Applications to order their books.
I suspect the commercial implication makes this idea unsuitable if not why not?

Week 11 Podcasts and Video

Well I am certainly learning many different aspects and Podcasts really are an anwer to the problem of being unavailable for a lecture or say a Towne Meeting just record and then listen to it when you have time.
It sounds a great way of taking notes in a very long and intense meeting, especially when the topics discussed are not familar to you. Just come back to your desk listen and type the essentials. It gives you the space to query and check for accuracy.
I like to think of different ways I can apply the tools I am now learning and if some of my ideas are not appropriate put it down to being a novice.

Answer Board

This must be a Librarians dream to test her knowledge and certainly a very sound way of aquiring information. I would imagine a lot of diplomacy is required and certain discussions not entered into especially if the Librarian names her place of employment.
I think to have discussions with people is a great way of acknowledging that there are many different points of view and to recognise the fact that there is often more than one answer or solution to a question.

Del.icio.us/Technorati/ Library Thing

Out of these three I really enjoyed Library Thing.

I read a lot of books and this is such a great way to have discussions with others and get their opinions.
I am not good at remembering authors so you could start your own "Book Diary" listing the authors and titles and making a comment about the book for future reference.

Del.icio.us and Technorati I thought were both very busy overcrowded and appeared messy in my opinion.

Week Three...Flickr.

It really is amazing what you can find and do with this. I enjoyed making my own stamp and you could certainly have a lot of fun at Christmas with cards etc.
I love posters and this certainly gives me loads of interesting viewing.

Youtube

Yet another Audrey Hepburn viewing but I have got away from Holly Golightly and with the wonder of Youtube found a list of her films and selected her first movie "Roman Holiday".
If I had more time I could go on and on and indeed enjoyed being able to view my favourite scenes from the movie.

more mashups

Just to let you know I do have other passions.

Van Gogh's last view...put onto a Canadian stamp.

mashups

Sorry to say I am still on about Audrey Hepburn but when on a good thing I say stick to it.

I now have a one month calendar with Holly again the feature.

RSS FEEDS

Well I must admit with the Olympics just commencing what a good time to use RSS .
There is so much happening and so many surprises it is great to be kept up to date.
I am slowly but surely realising how beneficial it is to explore all these new fields and to learn new techniques.

I have been exploring Wikipedia and finding out all about what it has to offer. It is a great resource for obtaining information on the most amazing things and I was able to obtain loads of information on Audrey Hepburn and her love interest in the movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's," George Peppard. I really think I have now covered all aspects of this lovely movie so please enjoy.

Moon River Cha ChaHenry Mancini/Johnny Mercer

• The Breakfast at Tiffany's soundtrack won Henry Mancini an Oscar for Best Music (Scoring of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture) whilst the song "Moon River" won Mancini & Johnny Mercer (lyrics) an Oscar for Best Song. Apparently, "Moon River" was written especially for Hepburn. The vocals were written to be sung in only one octave as she had no training as a singer

We now move onto another aspect of the movie and that is the music. The main theme "Moon River" is so enchanting and is just the right ingredient to make this movie so magic. The story, the actors and the music just blend so well making all aspects so memorable.
