In the beginning ......

Welcome to Kristin @ the Library.

This blog is part of the State Library Web 2.0 training and is designed to take you the reader through my journey of technological discovery.

That is the "Feel Good" side of things.

As it stands I use a lot of this technology already in my personal life and would be literally lost without it. Ebay, Facebook, Youtube, Flickr and of cause my beloved email are but a few web based technologies that allow me to function on a daily basis. I am a technology and gadget junkie! Yes I can admit it.

However in working through this training I can assist my staff to become more acquainted with what is available and ensure that they are comfortable in using and helping others to use these technologies.

So on to Blogs.

I really enjoy using blogs and already use and access several for a variety of reasons. I have found one in particular on card making that I enjoy as this has become my latest hobby.

Blogs are unlimited in their potential and we are really at the very beginning in relation to their use. Within the Library I think they will become most useful both as a staff tool and a public use tool.

Through this blog I hope that I can introduce you, the poor sole is who stumbled upon it, to who I am. Where I can I will link you to some videos and websites I have on the net. You never know I may find someone else out there in library land who enjoys what I enjoy.

Cheers
