Technology is really amazing. Week 12 left me a bit "gobb-smacked!" It is endless what a library can acheive. The free on-line resources are available. It is a shame that working at a busy Branch Library with limited Staff (two of us) that there is little time available to explore everything.
The public library that has a dedicated Community programs/marketing section will benefit from everything that has been revealed to us in this course. I have enjoyed it and am glad I made it through to Week 12. I thought I'd never make it, having started in March 2008.
For client interaction, marketing and networking aspects, the library would be able to reach more people internationally as the physical barriers are broken down. A person does not have to be in the library or in the same country. Interactions, meetings, confrences is done in real time.
It is interesting how, on a single website, there can exist a variety of interactive resources/activities. A good example was the Teen Secondlife http://www.plcmc.org/teens/secondlife.asp
