Smiling happy sheep

I’m quite fond of sheep in, I must admit, an admiring from a distance kind of way. So when I was on holidays in the UK several years ago I kept taking photos of sheep. The people I was with thought that I was very odd – after all didn’t I come from Australia where there are lots of sheep? But the sheep were so very picturesque standing in their green fields. It was a nice change from seeing them in our quite often brown landscape.

I was browsing through Flickr and couldn't resist this photo published by ieatstars -http://www.flickr.com/photos/ieatstars/3243861816. Here's another one published by Craig Richardson - http://www.flickr.com/photos/craig_r1978/110960949/ . Unfortunately all the images I wanted to post are copyright protected. I'll keep searching though!

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.
