As with the Mafia, so with Manukau Libraries Learning 2.0 exercises - just when you think you're out, they pull you back in! I have decided to revisit my cyber-doggie learnings from 2008 and carry my original blog on for the new six exercises at http://mlweb20.blogspot.com/
While I have elected to re-use my gmail address and blog, I recently helped a team member start up new ones and was reminded that the most difficult things involved were choosing an original name that hadn't already been nabbed - and writing down all your addresses and passwords somewhere secure.
I think it's Quite Interesting (just flashed on the Stephen Fry-hosted show Q.I. for a sec there, great show) that the exercises I will be following are hosted on a blog, and that my medium for reflecting back on each exercise is also in blog-form hosted by the same site. This illustrates at least one use for blogs in the library environment - as areas for staff training and communication. This can also be extended to our library customers, to keep them informed of new initiatives/events and teach them how to use particular resources ... but I have (no doubt disloyal) doubts as to how riveting they would find following a library site in the long term.
In any case, I will attempt to take Web2.0 by the throat and squish it into submission - much as I am squishing the ball above. Grrrr.Woof.

Hah very funny! Welcome back to web 2.0 - and what a great first post :) I'd like to take a note of your blog ideas if that's ok with you. I'll be popping in and out of staff blogs to see how ppl are doing and to answer any queries that may pop up. Am definitely looking forward to reading your next post! Enjoy the journey :)
