WEEK 5: Music Files and mp3s

The music available is comprehensive and varied. Country, blues to hard rock and hip hop.

Anything you can think of is available, and easy and mostly free to download.

You can find your old favourite or info on a brand new album.

A music lover's dream....

I think that the customers who would be wanting to use this type of website would be conversant with it, but it is reasonably user friendly.

WEEK 4: Books and Social networking

GOODREADS is fantastic.

I really enjoyed exploring this site and it has great potential for future book information rating, storing and sharing.
Options for Book clubs has promise too.

For these reasons it is an excellent site to promote readers' advisory.

Week 3: TWITTER- micro blogging at a glance

I had a look at @Manukau_Libs and found it interesting.
I could see Pakuranga Library's transformation unfolding.

For personal/privacy reasons I have not joined up to TWITTER , but I know how to do so and I have a full understanding of what it is all about.

TWITTER is people friendly to use and there may be an interest for it in our learn nets.

Manukau Libraries could use TWITTER to promote activities etc

WEB 2.0 : Week 2 - ZAMZAR - converting file formats

I think that this will be very useful and simple both for staff and customers.

It would be a good option both on the learn net and workrooms.

Personally I doubt I will use this, but would be happy to promote to customers.

Another useful "tool" in the customer service toolkit.
