"Every inch of time and space..." (Week 16)

I joined Feedburner and set up a google alert for where I live as well as for where I used to live and for the State Library of NSW. At this point I feel I am seeking alerts for information simply for the sake of completing this program and I am not able to organise or synthesise them properly.

This said, I (re)discovered Camden Council Library's "Camden Reads" blog. http://camdenreads.blogspot.com/

Through this I found "365 days of a library" a Flickr photostream of events and happenings at Narellan Library. I thought this was a great idea and reflects Narellan Library as a vibrant, happy and creative community space.

I am still not sure how to make the Google alert system work for me and my blog, though. I like the idea of having one information centre, like a blog, in which to collect, disperse and store information as opposed to a more diffuse system where information is collected and stored in a number of different places, each with their own space and password and demand for digital time.

"The crashed cars of driver education..." (Week 15)

This morning I re-acquainted myself with the marvels of Delicious. This has taught me a lot about my learning styles. I am an impatient learner who wants to use all that she knows at once. I have little time for the process of learning, I like to get in there and get results. It's like driver education and sometimes ends in crashed cars and bruised egos.

My learning style has hampered me in attempts to insert a tagroll into my blog. It meant I got frustrated with adding new bookmarks too. I am giving the tagroll another try below:



I chose to bookmark the Virginia Woolf Society for its escapist value, the Canberra Times for general news and political commentary, the Black Dog Institute for a mood lift, Lady Gaga: News for entainment fantastic and the National Library of Australia because their website is so...delicious.
