Answer Boards

Answer boards are a great idea, but only for those of us who can find the time to use them. I work in a public library, and think they could be used to answer questions about the local area - could be a great way to publicise our area and services. Using them beyond this, however, would be very difficult for those of us who are "time-poor".

I have just discovered Librarything, which is a great way to share resources and ideas.

I love the way that the cloud displays - it is a great idea, as it is an incentive to add more tags.

Wikis

Before I looked at this part of the course I am doing, I had no idea that Wikis existed apart from Wikipedia. So, I have learnt a lot already but am also becoming more and more aware of how incredible all these new types of communication are.

In our library environment, an intranet using wikis would be great. Staff could provide information for staff in other areas to read that would be an invaluable sharing of knowledge and suggestions, ranging from such things as ideas for children's activities to different methods of storing and shelving items to posting upcoming titles on the bestsellers lists.

Sydney Opera House

I did a search on Flickr and found this gorgeous photo which made me smile - hope you like it too. It's very clever. http://www.flickr.com/photos/metarenato/190646507/

Travel to Finland

I was lucky enough to be able to travel to Helsinki for a short stay during an overseas trip. We loved it and would like to travel further into Finland. Does anyone have any info they would like to share on travel Helsinki to Rovaniemi.
