"Always walk through life as if you have something new to learn..and you will "
- Vernon Howard, American philosopher.
I don't think learning ever ends ; It seems that every single day, we learn something new, and there is always more. I can not imagine any one being able to say that they have nothing more to learn. All the endless possibilities that are made available to us in various different areas are astounding.
In this scenario, we are all learning about Web 2.0. Blogs, wikis, social networking and podcasting are just some of the things we all hope to learn more about during this course.
I recently graduated from university, and many of these aspects of Web 2.0 were touched on in some of my units, however I don't think i really gathered a full understanding until I actually started using them all myself. Over the last couple of years, I have discovered just how much we are able to express ourselves online.
Of course, there is always more to learn, and I am eager to find out more, to see if there are things that I have missed or overlooked.
Blogs
There are a number of different blogs I currently follow in the areas of fashion and books. Some people post the most interesting things, and it's always a fascinating read.
This is one post I feel like I need to share with fellow lovers of books:
Ampersand beauty blog
This is a post that summarises some of the beautiful books released by Penguin. Penguin Hardback Classics ; books that I discovered online via a blog a couple of years back. They are gorgeous books in many classic titles, it was too hard to resist and most of the titles are now sitting on my bookshelf.
Happy learning!
I'm sure we will finish this course with lots of ideas of what we can do with Web 2.0 in our libraries and also the knowledge to help our patrons with their queries.
