#23 The end
There were many hiccups along the way and at times I did not think I would make it, but here I am at the end (thanks Paul and Dianna for all the on the spot help). I've certainly been pushed out of my comfort zone by actually using applications, rather than just looking at them. I'm not sure that I would call the process "fun" but I appreciate having been given the time to explore.
#22 Audio books
I have never been enthusiastic about e-books because they have to be read on a screen and for reading enjoyment I much prefer the book format. However I could get used to audio books. For a library I think the idea of instantly available downloadable audio books sounds great - unlimited access 24 hours a day 7 days a week, a great range of books to choose from, able to download and listen anywhere. For the library no more reshelving, lost books, or lack of shelving space. Apart from socialising and a place to study why would anyone need to come to a library anymore?
#21 Podcasts
Full marks to Yahoo Podcasts, click on listen and away you go. Podcast.net wanted me to install missing plugins and Podcastalley.com wanted me to download a podcast aggregator. If Yahoo can make listening so simple why can't the others?
