Welcome

Well I’ve finally done it. After months of thinking about it I’ve created a blog. My friends have been blogging for ages so I’ve got some catching up to do! Seriously though, I’m very pleased to be part of the Licence 2 Test Drive program as it will give me a much needed incentive to try out the various web 2.0 applications. I’ve been enjoying hearing and reading about web 2.0 for a while now so it’s great to be able to do some practical work at last. I’m determined to be web 2.0 savvy! Also it’s an exciting time for libraries to use new and emerging technologies to reach out, connect and interact with clients.

I love reading blogs. They are a great way to communicate. I can see that they’d be a very useful tool for libraries to, for example, advertise events and new services, and to inform clients in general about library related matters.
