THING 23

Now I'm onto Thing 23 - The conclusion.

I think a lot of the things that I have looked at have been interesting. Most of them can be used with each other. In particular a number of these things can be used as applications on either Facebook or Myspace, which I have made reference to in some of the posts.

In particular Facebook could be used as a way of client feedback by creating a group for a particular library or to become a fan of library.

Most of the applications would be used for research purposes. The only one I would say would have the least research purpose would be msn messenger, skype, bebo etc.

Overall I have enjoyed this and plan to use these skills to help clients in the library and also for personal use as well.

THING 18!

I am just doing Thing 18 - articles about to Read about the Library 2.0 movement and explore new developments in Library related interfaces such as Encore and the new EBSCOhost 2.0 interface.

The articles are quite interesting. I've posted links to the relevant articles:

• Library 2.0 from Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_2.0
• Encore - http://0-web.ebscohost.com.library.vu.edu.au/ehost/detail?vid=1&hid=101&sid=01b7b7f6-7950-4800-9af5-7777c23a3c1f%40sessionmgr102&bdata=JnNpdGU9ZWhvc3QtbGl2ZQ%3d%3d#db=aph&AN=26074119
• EBSCOhost 2.0 - http://www.researchinformation.info/products/product_details.php?product_id=138

THING 5

I'm just doing Thing 5 - Flickr. It could maybe be in someways be beneficial to librarys for pictures. But you would have to hope the tags have been saved to the photo. I have saved some photos that are with me with friends. One with my favourite singer and actress. Plus one of my friend who goes to the TV Week Logies Arrivals each year with me as well.

You can also subscribe to the photostreams as well via feed reader.

THING 22

I am now onto Thing 22. I have added the google talk to my iGoogle home page. I am familiar with Facebook chat, as I use it to catchup with a lot of friends, which would be similiar.

I am also familiar with MSN messenger, etc. also.

THING 16!

I am now onto Thing 16 - iGoogle Home Page. I've added the following to the webpage.

• Google Reader.
• Google Map Search gadget.
• Google Book Search gadget.
• Facebook gadget.
• Wikipedia Search gadget

This could have some benefits to libraries for research purposes. But again you could not use this as source alone.

THING 21

I have just subscribed to a podcast on the abc website. This could be in someways beneficial for libraries for research purposes. But you could never use this as your only research tool.
