Wiki Annotated Bib.

Decatur High School Library, 2009, City Schools of Decatur, viewed 15th of April, http://dhs.wikispaces.com/

The Decatur started this Wiki in 2009 as a group based project which was based on a roster set for things needed to be done, It grew when more funds were given to the library and ideas were given to include the high school's curriculum which covered the subjects they offer. It is authoritative being used for research within the school along side an open discussion where anyone that has signed up can participate in. The site also allows you to view updates and send you emails to show what has been updated along side resources from e-books to whole lessons being online. Other sources offered by the wiki is the pathfinder resource, allowing you to track certain courses and posts until it is canceled. This site is recommend for people who have an interest in library online resources as well as the development of web 2 environment.

Teacher tube and its annotated eval

Having been playing with TeacherTube over the past few weeks I found it intresting and somewhat a bit of a let down. The site over all is good for its resources but its usabilty is sorely lacking then that of youtube or other video sites, its search function is a bit iffy but onces it working properly it is ok.

Annotated Bib of a video from Teacher tube:

Teachertube, Librarylegend, 2010, Student printing at Wagga Wagga TAFE Library, viewed 18th of April, http://www.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=174419&title=Student_printing_at_Wagga_Wagga_TAFE_Library&vpkey=

This video was made by a group of students up in Wagga Wagga as part of a demonstration for an introductory course in computing, it is both authoritative and precise going through step by step on how to print, giving the prices of the most commonly used printing options, printing options from Microsoft Word. I would recommend this for new students/staff and even for ESL students as it gives visual examples as well, going slow and able to be replayed as many times as needed. It is also possible to download this video and transfer it to other computers or video media devices by usb/email/ect..

Thats it for this post enjoy!!

Rollyo

This is my Rollyo search engine: http://rollyo.com/shadowzeny/scotts_library/

I found Rollyo quite interesting, It let me combine my seaches of single sites into one big resource for my use and for public use, I will be intresting to see when Rollyo finishes its beta and goes live properly.

YouTube video

This is just the video I did, not really impressed with it, so when the assessment is done I will remove it. view's quite fine for me but maybe a little big on others screens. Here is the link to it to view it if its to big: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IM7CHGlHpYc

The Unquiet Librarian is a blog made by Buffy Hamilton who is a teacher librarian at Creekview High School in Georgia. She uses what spare time and some work time to create this blog about several different aspects of what it is to be a Librarian these days and time, going in to very detailed posts about web 2.0 and Library 2.0 applications and technologies, giving the goods the bads and the in-betweens, giving personal and professional information and thoughts. It is encouraged on the blog to throw down your own oppions and thoughts as well as information in what libraries you may work in.

The blog it self goes into detail about how libraries around the world are constantly changing and is a must for people with a keen interest in 2.0 technologies and different aspects of an ever changing library.

The Latrobe University Library, 2009, Library Podcasts, viewed 7th March 2010, http://www.lib.latrobe.edu.au/podcasts/

On January 1st 2007 the Latrobe library introduced various pod casts for the collections as well as an audio tour of the library to help students, staff and faculty patrons find various materials. At first these were only in the Library it self setup as a audio link where you went around the collection and building with a pair of headphones to listen to the various information. They have now updated this to be all online where you can just download the audio file from the website and listen to it on your mp3/computer and so forth. From what is seen the materials are copyrighted but with permission these audio files are aloud to be uploaded elsewhere with the proper credits to the Latrobe University Library. The site also offers a RSS feed to the website noting any updates or changes to the audio content or if new materials have been added.
