Susan's Musings

Sharing - I love sharing - never reinvent the wheel - borrow (Creative Commons Licensing is a fabulous thing) and or retool - but don't reinvent. Do you have a great presentation? Share it! I have a widget from SlideShare on my blog and I have seen some great presentations on Library 2.0 applications, cataloguing and even some presentations on open source applications. It is a great place to get a quick overview of a concept. Staff training using presentations is also easier, considering budget cuts and travel for training is often cut first. Staff can view presentations at their own pace. I will be uploading a couple of presentations and classes that I have created to Slideshare - I'll let you know how that goes.

I still need to remember to bring in my camera and take pictures of the library to load to my Flickr account - after I do I am intrigued by the idea of creating a database and or slideshow of the photos - probably a widget will have to come off the blog to make room for it - look for it in the near future. Anyone try Picture Trail? I like the idea of linking for the blog - I am currently using Picasa Web for my online photos and other family is using DropShots
