Podcasts

I agree with all the comments listed about podcasts and the many and varied uses that libraries and staff can benefit from them. Podcasts can be used for book reviews, Library staff training, downloading articles from radio,Libray tours, projects and activities etc. etc.

online applications

We have already had experiences with online applications. Our Regional Librarian has used this to write up a Catalogueing manual for our libraries and we were able to look at it, also the secretary of PLNSW- country- Central West Zone wrote up aNew Libray Managers Tool kit which we can edit if necessary. This is really great for this reason that we don't have to be in the same place to be able to make a contribution to a document. It will be very useful in many ways for Library staff.
The public will also be able to use this these tools and we won't need to purchase new software.
Zoho is more complex with many different types of applications which is fantastic.
Thses online applications will be of great benefit to everyone.

mash-ups

This is a great tool for Libraies to use in creative activities in the Library and for creative ways to promote activities and programmes in the Library.
