Podcasts

Hi,

I have been using Podcasts recently while studying for my postgraduate degree. WE have been directed to the State library of Victoria to listen to podcasts on their site and just recently my lecturer expressed his thoughts on a subject we are studying via podcast.

I enjoy listening to podcasts when receiving information as sometimes you can take in the content better when it is not in written form.

Cheers

Answer Boards

Hi,
When I was exploring the answer board links in week 7, I stumble across a question I could answer. Here is the link.


http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Why_is_a_platypus_a_mammal&updated=1&waNoAnsSet=1&ftr=1

I found I answered it because I knew the answer and I could quickly type a reply without having to research. I did not have to join to answer the question so that was another incentive.

Library Thing

Hi,

I enjoyed using the library thing and can't wait to use it on my home computer. I started the account on another computer and when it came time to add my books (and I have many), I couldn't remember what they were. A problem I did find when searching for the titles I did remember is that the covers are different from what I found searching through Amazon by the search screen. SO I would like to add my collect my ISBN, so I can create an exact copy of my physical library virtually.

Here is the link.

Del.icio.us

Hi,

here is a link to my del.icio.us page

http://www.del.icio.us/cariad00

I had fun starting this account. A hobby of mine is family history, and there are many resources that I have added to faviourites. This site would be usefully for accessing these sites from any computer.

I 'm having difficulty in creating a video link. Trying to copy and paste.

Update: I know how to do this. I think.

Hi,

I am doing a postgraduate degree and have just received information about my second assessment. I, as well as the majority of students are distance eduacation student and we have to do this assessment as a group using a wiki. It will be interesting putting the wiki to a practical application.

Wiki

Hi,

I have visited the wiki and thought they were interesting. They all seem to be in their beginning stages. I enjoyed the book reviews by library patrons. I think this is a simple idea that most libraries could start immediately.

I have not explored the pbwiki created for us yet but I am looking forward to playing with this programme.
