Slamming the Posts

This was an easier week and a rather interesting one.
I think Slamming the Boards is a good site for the younger or the older generations who cannot get to the library because of job commitments or for the lack of transport. There are so many who just do not have the time to get to a library with numerous working between 2 jobs or more.

I feel all libraries could benefit from Answer Boards, where the Client can post their question(s) and know that they will get a librarian to answer them.
I liked the Yahoo!7 Answers the most for entertainment references.
I cannot help it but I still feel (even with all the technology available today)
that the most beneficial way is having customers visiting our libraries browsing for books and asking all sorts of information from a real life, in your face librarian.
What happens when the power goes out?

Delicious Library Thing

I didn’t register with Technorati perhaps later when I create a new Blog. However I registered with http://del.icio.us/ & Library Thing. I enjoyed the exercise very much. I have tagged some interesting subjects, Authors and Books. I can see lots of possibilities to use these programmes for our library Services in many ways.

Video of My first Australian Idol

I REMEMBER YOU “FRANK IFIELD” when you came to have
Your pushbike fixed wearing gum boots at my first place of employment at North Parramatta back in 1955 Or near enough to?
I can’t remember the exact year or date it’s been far to long ago to remember exactly when.
