This is my first attempt at blogging and I am pleasantly surprised how easy the blog is to create. I can see lots of potential in using blogs within a library context. It would give our library service a wonderful avenue to inform our clients of happenings within our service.
We are located in regional NSW and therefore many of our clients live some distance from our libraries. Blogs could help overcome the distance barrier by publicising resources, events, new items in our collections, book reviews, etc. The interactive ability of the blog would be fantastic as we could have feedback from our customers.
Being from a rural community with a large older population we would have to remember many of our clientelle have not embraced the technological era with the same enthusiasm as our teenagers. This gives rise to the thought that our staff, once we have completed this short course, may feel confident to pass on our knowledge to this sector of our community.
It opens up a new world.

Hello,
Well there are soo many new things to discover and learn, but somebody have to give an opportunity to the community to look at what is available.
Later we will decide what kind of technology make sense to us.
Older member of the community may just like to know about internet, email and who knows somebody may embrace flickr.
Here is another bit you may like to check ;-)
