Really end

It is such a wonderful learning experience. I am really enjoy it.

It make me feel more confidence in learning new things, the steps are easy to follow and instruction is clear to understand.

It is open my mind, have a more clear picture of what kind of chanllenges the library are facing and how can we use these cutting edge technologies to improve our services.

Thank you again for providing such a learning opportunity.

It is not an end for sure, I will come back to this programme and explore more and more.

Tagging

del.icio.us allows people to bookmark online contents and tag them in their own ways. It show you what are the popular tags and populare sites. It also lead you to the related tags and see how others users have tagged similar links and discover other websites that may be of interest to you.

I opened an account and created some tags: flickr, google, howto, learning, libaryblogs...

You can bookmark as more as possible and refer to them whenever you need, you won't lost the trace.

Rollyo

It is so nice to group all the sites you trust together and you can search them at once. This will save lots of time and have far more chances to find out what you are looking for.

It will be very useful if we have different rollyo (children, teenager, fiction, graphic novel, dvd...)set up on the front desks computer, it will improve our reference skill a lot and satisfy the customer even more.

Libary Thing

I open an account and add 6 books to my libary.

This is a biggest book club the whole world has ever seen. You can see whoelse have similar tastes with you and share the thoughts with each other.

It can make the ordinary people have a deeper understanding about how library books are catalogued and organised.

It also a great tool to trace all the books you have read, and make a reading plan for the future.

ebook

I create an account and I can access netlibrary dirctly via http://netlibrary.com/, I searched by subject, keyword title, and add one book to my favorite.

This maybe very handy for the people who has difficulty in coming to the libary or the people who need to read the book straight away, rather than have to put holds and waiting in the queue.
