I had great fun with this topic. Being a cat lover I searched youtube for cat videos. Check out the above link.
I also checked out some the library youtubes.
This tool could be used on library websites as guided tours with different aged borrowers giving the tour. A prescholler for preschoolers, teenager for teens, over 50s for over 50s. each with a different spin on the library.

Wikis week 5

I have explored some wikis. The best know wiki used by librarians would be wikipedia. Depending on what you are looking for and used with caution it can be more usuful than just googling a topic. Library wikis could be a usuful way of sharing authoritive material.

RSS Feeding week 4

I tried at home still could not RSS Feed to this site the share this file does not like my details.
I have a few other feeds to book sites including a feed to the new books on Curtin Uni's library catalogue. This is a great way to keep in touch with whats new. Libraries could really jump on this wagon to share newsletters, discuss the book of the day and keep library members informed.

It could be a great time saver when using the internet as you dont have to go and search for the information as its brought to you.
