Answer boards

Oooeee, got through 2 topics in the one sitting! TV wasn't too hot tonight anyway.

Read the notes, went to the librarians answerboard wiki, and liked what I saw. Looked up a couple of questions, I love how everyone jumps in with an answer, as well as the librarians who are on the site. It is a little like the "list" I'm on with ALIA. I've signed up to a reader's advising list, which is really good. If someone has a query on something such as trying to find a book and they don't know what it's called, they post the plot, and usually someone out there has read it. Another example is looking for suggestions for contemporary science fiction authors for some of your clients. I really enjoy being part of this list, I find it may come in useful...someday, someone may ask me the same question.

The only problem with lists as opposed to answer boards, is that your inbox gets pretty full because every post gets sent to you!.

Anyway, for now, that's all folks!

Hmmmm....delicious!

Greetings again. Got in, did the tagging tutorial, had a look at the library examples. Signed up and now have the icons on my on my laptop, but I've gotta admit, haven't added any tags yet! (Well, not really) signed up with the LibraryThing, really enjoyed looking at that, even did my five books! (have I mentioned that in my last post, or was that all part of this topic...? Can't remember)

Anyway, once I've caught up I can maybe go back and investigate things more at my leisure. Problem is finding the time to do this, always too busy at work.

Until next time, ta ta!

Love ya Youtube!

Okay folks, have been really slack of late, but then I did got away for 3 weeks, but there you go...the price you pay for having a good time.

Have been playing with youtube a lot lately, some of my work buds like to look at music clips (Hi Tony and Wendy), and I kinda like using it for that, along with those funny animal clips, can't get enough of them.

Well (drum roll please), I am about to try to embed a clip in this blog....so here goes.



Well, did it work?
