# 23 Is this really the end?

I have just given myself the big "pat on the back" for finally getting there. It has been a long and often interrupted journey of trial, failure, retry, discovery, and finally achievement.
Reflections, what did I like, dislike......? I think the 2 things that stand out for me are Rollyo and LibraryThing - I could see myself using them.

#22 Audiobooks

Well that was interesting. I was amazed at the range and scope under "Other collections". What a change there could be now in collections and document delivery.

#21 Podcasts, smodcasts... whatcasts?

Didn't have any luck listening to any of these at work. Will have to ask my daughter, the mistress of iTunes to take me through it at home.

#19 Discovering Web 2.0

Oops, got out of sequence here, but have caught up with myself. I have been exploring some of the winners under the Books theme and have to admit I like the Library Thing the most. It seems very versatile, I like the look of it and it would have the most potential for my use and interests.

#20 You too can youtube

Well, after a reasonable break for summer, I am back and had a quick look at Youtube. What a lot of stuff! Maybe we could use it for quick demonstrations on how to use the Self Serve, for example.

#18 Web-based apps

Well, I keep learning in this. I had never heard of Zoho and now there are endless possibilities. All signed up and ready to go................

#17 Playing around with PBWiki

What does the PB stand for? Immaterial now, I have inserted my blog where requested and done a bit more reading and exploring.

#16 Wikis

It was good to allow myself time to read some of these, particularly the two of Ref Desk manuals as a Wiki. Might be worth considering.

#15 Web 2.0, Library 2.0

Yes it is all changing. I have been thinking about this in terms of the Reference Collection. We have a "hybrid" collection of books and online databases. How might Web 2.0 tools enlarge or expand our collection/services?

# 14 Technorati

There is so much stuff there! It was interesting to explore Web 2.0 on it. I found reference to a Librarian in the U.S. who was the first to use a LibraryThing plug-in to a library catalogue. Suddenly I am thinking differently!

# 13 Tagging and Del.icio.us

Tagging turned out to be easy after all (thanks Fiona). I can see how this might complement Weblinks, or we might use it for our different team activities.
