TAGGING AND ALL THAT STUFF
This is the link to my delicious account.
http://delicious.com/MOBILELIBRARYMAN
Delicious is a good idea for the sharing of websites found by yourself or onsharing other peoples finds and discoveries.
Finding the time to look them up or utilise them in other ways could end up being a major feat as you sift through all the different hits. Accuracy of the search engine can be a problem ie. I searched "mobilelibraries" and received heaps of hits about everything mobile phone to library locations etc. but not one on mobile libraries.
I would probably use this as a last resort solution.
It would be useful as a tool which was an easy way to create bookmarks that can be accessed from anywhere.
As I use about four computers in my workplace of which two are in the mobilelibrary and at least two are in the main library , not counting the three that I use at home it can be a bit of a bug bear when we have favorites bookmarked on one computer that is not on the one you are using now.
ALSO how many times has this happened to you when one gets a new computer or the hard disk dies or the laptop gets run over by a bus or abducted by aliens or you fall asleep with it in the bath AND you did'nt backup your favorites file. Darned anoying I"ll tell you.
As well it did take a while to actually place the link to my Blog. Hope everyone else worked it out.
Yeh! OK if this suits your own situations some times not everyones BUT hey its good to know its out there.
See ya's in the next posting.

Creating a blog post about my wiki surfing.
My wiki surfing led me to three little wiki's.
At book lovers it has some great ideas on feedback from patrons re their reading material.
I have found people love to discuss what they have just read especially if they hated it.
It is also good for me as i can absorb these discussions and use them as future book reviews to aid other patrons. We can never have too much reading related info like this wiki and other web sites that we keep hidden in our favorites folder.
The best practices wiki blew me away as I had come across this one earlier in this module 5.
As I looked down the menu items involving libraries and what a great resource this wiki contains, in the Service to Specific Groups heading there was no real mention of Mobile Library services. Sooooo something had to be done, as you dear readers of my blog might have noticed there is a closeness between me and Mobile library services. YES I subscribed to be able to edit this wiki (OH NO !!! another user name and password).
Still I have made my first wiki edit and it didn't hurt a bit.
Friends if you would like to follow the added adventures regarding mobile Libraries and library services in general ( it is highly recommended ) on this wiki you can find it at :http://www.libsuccess.org/index.php?title=Main_Page
Lastly I popped my foot into wookieepedia as the name had this poor surfer curious.
HAAAA it struck me ,of course that s what it is how obvious so how come I missed it .
SIGH
It must be a bloke thing.
A chuckle ensued as I sought out the little curios and info on the site.
Loved the logo in the top LH corner of the near wikipedia world transposed to the death star.
This module was good for me as our library uses a wiki for information , ideas and communication amongst the staff.
We have also created a Mobile Library wiki that has been introduced to all mobile libraries in NSW and will later be shared around Australia and then the World. ( I hope).
They work well if they are used. They don't reach their full potential if no one interacts with them.

A funny thing happened to me on the way home.
Shoalhaven Mobile LibraryBuilt by Brimarco in 1999 and the Isuzu cab chassis has replaced recently with the latest model.
Wednesday 3rd June 2009
RDO today, I had driven down to Bendalong Point Tourist Park to oversea the loading of Levi's (my son) transportable home.
As I was leaving ,parked by the Shopping complex ( one pub & general store) was the Shoalhaven Mobile Library.
Three guesses what I did:
1. Keep driving....
2. Let down his inside drive tyres..
3. Went in and introduce myself.
After I introduced myself we had a chat about Mobile Library things.
Chris turns out to be their relief driver.
I asked him if he knew about the Mobile Library Wiki.
He promised to find out from his colleagues.

I must keep in touch, he also is going to try to make it to the muster in Sept.
Mobile Library Wiki : YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE PLEASE ASK.
How about that you just never know who you'll run into in our travels.
