Task 23 - Summarizing the last 22

Fantastic. What a wonderful adventure - particularly as it is Prof. Dev! I could spend much longer getting up and personal with so many of the technologies we have been exposed to. Unfortunately time is always the leveller.

I hope that this learning will continue to be available for some time to come to give us opportunities to revisit at our leisure and follow the instructions through again where we have forgotten.

Libraries are in a great position to adapt and use the various options and I believe need to be very proactive in lobbying for the necessary funding and recognition for the added value that can be given to an increased audience. One of the frustrating constraints is the access to often blocked sites due to firewalls and web marshalls. This is an area that libraries must push hard for solutions that give a win/win situation. However I do believe we can have a presence on Second Life, MySpace, YouTube as well as utilising eBooks just to name the most obvious of the technologies.

Waiting for the next episode!
