Library 2.0

It is very interesting reading about Library 2.0 where library services are constantly being updated and re-evaluated and encourage feedback and participation from library users. Libray users are interacting and communicating in different ways and the library needs to deliver its services in ways that suit the users needs.

Second Life

Self learning seems to be the trend where you choose what you want to do when you want to do it. I find it interesting to see that Ohio State University has created a learning space that contains all things familiar to student use in today's world. Are we really so short of the mark in what facilities we are offering students today?

How can your own university library use Second Life?
Apply some of the concepts such as delivering information to students how they want it when they want it.

Podcasts

I have been listening to Triple M podcasts of The Cage. I liked to listen to them in the morning and now they are no longer on air it has been great to hear some of the banter that went on in the mornings.
