One more treat

I must add this message about our new baby, we haven't picked him up yet and I can't wait to get to Newcastle to collect him. As you can see by his pix @6 weeks old, he is adorable.

Week 11

It's been awhile. So much to do, so little time. Gee, I hate to rush and this last year it's all I seem to do. I have just had a look at Week 11 Online applications and tools. I created a document in Google Docs (used an old one - need to rush you see)that was fun. These tools have so much scope to speed collaboration along. I could really relate to the version, on version of email attachments discussed in the Google Docs intro.

We may not get to use these new (to us) gadjets straight away, however it is great great to know they exist. The Library Web 2.0 Learning has gone a long way to helping all our staff be aware of the free tools available to us to help with our ever increasing workloads.

Thank you to everyone involved at State Library for presenting, teaching and commenting on our efforts to improve our knowledge. I know for me, it has made me feel more connected to my colleagues around the state.

Hollywood theme, Trivia night

Well I just had to do it. A group of us from work went to a local fundraising trivia night last friday. The theme was Hollywood, it was decided that we would go Bollywood. It was a fun night and Alison, Cathy, Jessie, Alan, Carolyn, Marion and I had a great time. Much planning went into decorating our table, with some additional Indian garb borrowed from a colleague. Well we didn't win but who cares. There was some great dressing up done on the night, several Marilyn Monroe's, a great Braveheart with war paint and kilt. It was a great team building experience, and we all had lots of laughs.
