Week9-#23 The end- My feedback

I want to say that I really enjoyed this course, and have learnt a lot from it. I'm using some of the things I learnt here on a regular basis, and have found some excellent books to read through LibraryThing, which will help me both at work and when I'm not at the library.

Thanks to acl eLGAR team who commented and read my thoughts and whose hard work made this possible.

My team and I have already started thinking about ways we can use what we've learnt to improve our service and processes, and I'm grateful for this taster of what's out there.

Thanks again, and enjoy your holidays if you get some!

Week9 #22- eBooks

Well I had no idea we had so many eBooks through our digital library! I'm really impressed and think that this is wonderful. We really should push this more to customers!


I found lots of items I would like to read, but because I prefer to read my books in bed, on the bus or in the bath, I'm going to see if we have hardcopies of these items.

1.
Title: From Kung Fu to Hip Hop : Globalization, Revolution, and Popular Culture (eBook) SUNY Series, Explorations in Postcolonial Studies
by Kato, M. T.
Publication: Albany State University of New York Press, 2007.

2.
Title: Dishwasher : One Man's Quest to Wash Dishes in All Fifty States (eBook)
by Jordan, Pete.
Publication: Pymble, NSW, New York HarperCollins, 2007.

3.
Title: Animated Man : A Life of Walt Disney (eBook)
by Barrier, J. Michael.
Publication: Berkeley University of California Press, 2007.

I'd be interested to see how many people actually use eBooks regularly, and if they prefer them to the good old fashioned paperback...

Week9-#21- Podcasts

I found when I was looking at the podcast directories Podcast.net and Podcast Alley, that it was difficult to find Indie music podcasts that were recent. All the hits I got for podcast series showing 'the best of new indie music' were from 2006 or something, which was a bit of a pain.

But I found a couple of library related podcasts like Library Geeks, which was kinda boring, but I'll keep looking to see if I can find something interesting to me.

I doubt very much I'll become a heavy user, but I would like to try and make me own at some point, but I'd have to find something worth talking about!
