At last! Better late than never I guess. I have finally got to #23!!!!!
This learning 2.0 journey experience has opened my eyes to what is available out there in cyberspace! I can see that access to all that is on offer on the net, is the way of the future and the way forward within Libraries. My job is to keep up with it, as it will always move on......

#22 Audiobooks
http://worldebookfair.com/Childrens_eBooks.htm
I have looked at eAudiobooks and some of the titles. I can see this being very useful for borrowers with having access to so many free downloads. The above link showing the historical children's books was interesting.

#21 Podcasts

I have looked at http://www.podcast.net/ and have added the link above to a free download audio story for kids. This could really open up the accessibility to more talking books. Also using podcasts is a great way for borrowers to listen to book reviews and poetry.

#19 & 20 Discovering Web 2.0 tools and YouTube

Here is a link to Rhianna's Umbrella from YouTube - one of my fav's. I found You Tube on the list of Web 2.0 Awards http://www.seomoz.org/web2.0/. There are so many useful sites listed on the awards that could be useful to the Library.
http://upcoming.yahoo.com/ Another useful link for use in the Library for keeping track of events and new events in your area and the country.

#18 Web based Apps
I have set up an account on Zoho writer and can see how this would be great for someone who travels the world. They can put on their Resume and then be able to access it from anywhere in the world to help them aquire a job. A great idea!
#16 & #17 Wiki's
I have had a look at BookLovers Wiki. I can see how this could be useful within the Library as any borrower could access a book review and pass on their own comments. I can see the benefits of wiki's for community groups, as they could continually update and add information. I have added my Blog to PBwiki's favourite page.

#15 Library 2.0 & Web 2.0
I have read the Five Perspectives from the eOCLC Next Space Newsletter - very interesting.
I found "Away from Icebergs" particularly interesting, it helped me to start putting all the "pieces of the jigsaw" from my e learning together, enabling the picture as a whole to start emerging.
Surfing the web has already made searching for information so much easier for so many people. The next generation web libraries will create a "worlds your oyster" type of learning enviroment. I can see that it's no longer just sites and search engines, but it's now becoming a shared network space. It seems the skies the limit to what you can find out about, which is great for entertainment and social activites.
I can also see the potential benefit of shared network space for education and research, although the information would need to come from reliable, validated resources eg. universities, journals etc., to be of any useful significance.
I can see the need to look ahead to the future generations and to meet their needs. I can also see the need to still provide the Library 1.0 commodity, to work hand in hand with Library 2.0, 3.0 & 4.0, so as to meet the entire needs of the community.
