My final post

Wow, it's the end of an epic Cam 23 journey. My favourite 'things' were Flickr, LibraryThing, YouTube and Twitter. I also really enjoy using Wordle, although technically that wasn't one of the 'things'. The only one I disliked was LinkedIn, and the others all populate a happy middle ground.

I use many of them in my everyday life anyway, and now our library is starting to use more and more of them too. I think Web 2.0 is definitely changing libraries and it has been great to be able to learn about the different social media options available. It is important to keep on top of new developments so you can always provide a top-class service for your readers.

Thanks for this interesting and unique opportunity. That's all folks!

Time to reflect

12 Things down already! I've enjoyed the Cam23 experience so far and I feel more confident about my knowledge of Web 2.0 technologies. The Things have been very informative and well described.

According to the VARK questionnaire here, the Cam23 activities have suited my style as it said "You have a very strong Read/Write learning preference". At the bottom of the study strategies handout page it also said "You like this page because the emphasis is on words and lists. You believe the meanings are within the words, so any talk is OK but this handout is better. You are heading for the library." I'm already there! How spooky.

I would definitely be happy to recommend Flickr to a colleague and maybe a few of the other Things if I thought they'd be relevant. I hope to continue my enthusiasm as I approach the downhill slope of the next 12 Things and slide towards the finish line.
