#23 Is this really the end? or just the beginning...

Well it's been quite a learning journey - a little bit crammed! I'm pleased to have experienced lots of new things and can appreciate that we can do lots more using the technology that's available to improve our service and reach out to non-users. Now we need to try it for real ...both staff and our community. Gilly

#22 Audio books (or"the end is in sight")

I like ebooks - if the quality is good. A great way to "read" on the go. Many people will like to have this option. Gilly

#21 Podcasts, smodcasts

Spent some time exploring the recommended sites - Podcasts will be useful for bringing our services such as storytimes and training etc to the web. Gilly

#20 You too can YouTube

I was only able to explore a little - tried to sign-up but wasn't permitted to. I wonder if these could be used to deliver storytimes on the web or booktalks to the housebound or OPAC training, or....? I suppose it depends on the quality and duration of the clip? Gilly

#19 discovery Web 2.0 tools

I love Google Maps - I think we could use the personalised map very effectively in the Family and Local History area to show a "route" travelled by family ancestors, or to create an interesting "on line" walk for local history with interviews along the way. Gilly

#18 Web-based Apps:They're not just for desktops

I think this must be much easier than emailing docs and recipients "tracking" changes and emailing them back to the author. Great that documents can be accessed anywhere via the web, and using tags to "locate" them. Gilly

THE GILMOURS OF GIPPSLAND

This is the title other members of the Clan, those who'd moved to Tocumwal, Finley, Blighty, all in N.S.W., called my family who remained in Gippsland.

James Paton Gilmour came to Australia from Ayrshire Scotland, travelling on the ship Loch Garry in about 1885 to bring a valuable stallion to a relative, Archie Browning who lived on the land at Yarrawonga in northern Victoria on the Murray River.
