#12 Conclusions and review

looking back, to be honest, there is much that isn't relevant to my position. but there are a few thing that are useful perhaps to SLV or the industry.

industry/slv
-library thing tags to supplement LOC subjects. i like this idea, using everyday language to index items, loc can sometimes be rather unintuitive or the spelling is not australian english.

slv
-free web based software for word processing etc. great since we don't have microsoft licensing

me
-rss readers. this is an easy way to get all the info from one spot and when you feel like looking at it, rather than clumping up your email inbox. would be a great way to keep up to date with industry info. love that it is fully searchable and you can star items of interest. I use this heaps in my personal like.
-podcasts. again, would be good for industry info. recordings in your spare time.

The Learning 2.0 program itself was interesting and fun, I think I got more out of it in terms of personal life rather than my work at slv. It was also very time consuming and I'm not sure that the benefits made it worth the time spent. I don't necessarity think the library needs to have experts in 2.0 to the depth the program went.

Optional Exercise 1. Social Networking Websites.
i have only briefly experienced twitter - in the mx which is full of celebrity self indulgant rubbish, and from one guy's fairly hilarious twitter account which quotes his 73 year old dad(warning, coarse language).
here's me thinking that loc might be an interesting twitter account. but its just confusing language and keeps linking off to other sites. not that useful i don't think...
tweetup, tweeps, inspiration monkeys??? leave it at that i think.

fin!
