Library Thing

I thought I would try to locate some of the books I added to our nursing collection today - all very health related and probably a bit dull for the regular reader. Couldn't find any of them using the the ISBN search which was very disappointing as I had vision of incorporating this resource into the library intranet site. Might revisit at a later stage. Then I just chose 5 novels to add to my library. All of them were included in many other libraries. As per usual I am having trouble uploading the graphics

Dirt Music : A Novel
Dreaming of the Bones
Road Rage (A Chief Inspector Wexford Mystery)…
Wild Swans : Three Daughters of China
With No One as Witness (Thomas Lynley and Bar…

Week Three - image generators

I created this image very easily although it did have some flashing bits in image chef which seem to have disappeared. What a fantastic site.

Flickr

For a task that seemed fairly simple this has taken forever. Finding Flickr and having a look was fun. Found some great photos of one of my favourite spots - Inverloch. But having to set up a yahoo account, a yahoo email and a flickr account took ages - and another lot passwords -and then there were all the adds to wade through! Give me the simplicity of google anytime. Managed to upload some more historic photos into Flickr. Should I have been able to upload the photos onto this blogg? If so I missed the 'Button'. So here is the link http://www.flickr.com/photos/26822782@N07/

OK, have now added the images - it makes a difference when you check out the icons more carefully.

Sorry images didn't upload. Just left with a blank space. You will need to use the link.

I am still feeling very bamboozled by all of this - does anyone else feel the same?

Week 2

Have had a look at some of the other blogs and obviously my lack of imagination and literary talent is definitly showing. I have decided I am not a bloggy person. It takes a lot of effort and time to investigate what is out there let alone maintain a presence on my own minimalist blog. Perhaps I will have a greater affinity with Flicka or delicious. Oh and where is the spell checker?

Hello to all fellow bloggers

Have finally got round to setting up the blogg and posting first message. Not being a member of the Govt libraries group I would like to introduce myself. I am Jane Edwards and manage the Library at the Royal District Nursing Service here in Melbourne - yes we are the nurses who drive the white cars and visit people in their own homes. At RDNS we employ 1200 staff based at 23 sites across Melbourne. The Library is situated at the Head Office in St Kilda. I am looking forward to getting to know you through the course of this program.
