Slamming the boards

I think this is a great idea. I must admit I find it hard to find subjects to encourage responses to our library blog. Offering answers would certainly help. Maybe we could have the blog there for library refernce questions. I think a lot of people do like to comment on what the library and especially the council is doing. however, unless something is changing, or thye want a result, they dont usually put other than a verbal comment in. We need our sites to be vibrant - a blog without comments is really quite sad!

I also note that we have been finding more and more reference queries coming bakc to the library - so lets encourage this - a lot of people out there dont know what we do.

Delirious...

I do like del.icio.us honestly, but I cant understand why I have such trouble spelling it - I have no problem spelling delicious without the dots - but put them in and I am totally confused!


http://del.icio.us/network/helenjperry?networkadd=helenjperry

I dont know why it was so hard to try to put the link in. It took about 5 or 6 attempts!

Now that I have revisited del.icio.us I will make an effort to add more of my links to it. Especially before I go overseas this year... and it will help - for times like when all my favourites inexplicably disappeared from my computer at work. I would like to look at putting our links on the website into del.icio.us - but it's all time isnt it?

Video

I love this! the trouble is I could spend hours looking at video on the net. Fortunately, it's not a possibility at work - where it runs so slowly ( if at all) that you wouldn't try.

We are getting more and more enquiries about video and students seem to be getting video as part of their studies. This poses a problem for public libraries, as we just dont have the bandwidth to sustain this use.
