A chuckle a day is good fro your health, right?

Have a look at this blog...

Tame the Web

Here's a blog that is pretty topical right now!

Scroll down a bit to read about a lecture at Macquarie Uni on 25th and 26th February, titled 'The Hyperlinked Library'

Welcome to my blog...


While I've met Blogs before, this is my first solo flight as part of the State Library of NSW's Learning 2.0 course. I'm looking forward to what I will discover as part of this course. So many of the technologies that we are about to explore are familiar names, but it will be most interesting to experiment with ways that they can be used.



Along the way, I'd like to introduce anyone reading this Blog to some of the treasures of my Technical Library and the lovely 'bits' we have in the Research Room.



Every Librarian wants to put their Library 'out there' and encourage people who haven't previously visited a Library to dip their toe in the water, whether physically or electronically. This is a great opportunity!



Not only do we have words, we have other good stuff - images, voices, artefacts and great people.



Stay Tuned...
