Thing 9 - Read about wikis

Wikis are a really useful collaborative tool for information sharing.

A tool for listing instructions and help files that a number of staff can edit and maintain. (I wonder if we could use them to manage our library LINS?)

The other nice feature that I am impressed with is the ability of linking titles of resources (eg book club) to live catalogue records to check holdings and availability.

Overall a very useful tool.

Thing 8 - Explore podcasts & vodcasts

I found podcasting very interesting.
I listen to some great speakers from SirsiDynix Institute Podcast, especially my favorite Stephen Abram who I have met and spoken to on a number of occassions.

I also subscribed to abc.net/podcast and had a listen to:
dig video podcast - music with depth
DJ Danielsan's Demo- A turntable display from one of the Australian masters.
A very clever performer.

I also like the idea of downloading podcasts in the form of mp3 audio files, so I can listen to them at a later date.

Overall good fun...
