Sharing some slides - Mobile madness
I enjoyed this presentation, the growth in mobile technology is totally changing the way we learn and how we access information, this is having huge consequences on libraries as well as the education sector as a whole.
UK Library Blogs
I've now shared by blog and twitter account details on the UK Library Blog page.
As you might have noticed I've also just learnt how to insert hyperlinks into my blog posts (without showing the entire link) by editing the html (yay - not too rusty!).
This UK Library Blog is actually a great resource for finding out more about what's happening in the library world - especially for the library layman such as myself (that's probably what I should have named my blog!).
The Library Success Wiki is also a fantastic research tool, a year or so ago we did a big project looking into remote or virtual enquiry methods available or being use in libraries and this wiki was a superb source of information.
I've got to admit, I'm quite a fan of wikis, we used to use one to communicate remotely between the research exchange team and it was great as everyone could contribute to all of our resource pages.
It's good to share...!

You tube
This series is absolutely awesome. It's been airing on BBC Four over here in the UK but came out in the states a while back so it's available freely on YouTube and AcademicEarth. Enjoy:
I love the ease at which you can embed videos into your blog! It's just so easy to share things these days

Finking of fotos...
Flickr pics all uploaded and can be found here:

Not sure I would like to put my personal photos into Flickr though but I have them on facebook so I'm not sure why I feel differently about Flickr esp as you can set up the same privacy settings.

Thing 16
EndNote Web is a piece of software which will help you to:
I wish I'd known about reference management tools when I was doing my PhD, I typed all of mine in manually using word, it took forever and it was a really messy process!
It's useful for me now if I'm writing a long paper with a lot of references but I don't use it as much as I should.
- Store and organise the references you will collect during your research
- Automatically create reference lists or bibliographies for your research, quickly formatting them into the correct standard.
