Flickr Mashup Evaluation

Hello Followers,

here as promised in my evaluation of Earth Album.

Word Press, 2010, Earth Album, viewed 02 September 2010http://www.earthalbum.com/

Earth Album is a fantastic Flickr Mashup it combines Google Maps with Flickr to give it users access to some of the most stunning photographs in the world. Its like going on a trip round the world without leaving your house! Arm chair travelling just got even better!!

The fact that it is updated regularly makes it very authoritative however anyone can add to Earth Album. all the photographs have been taken by various Earth Album user on holidays round the world. the are many Earth Album Flickr groups such as http://www.earthalbum.com/flickrgroup/i_ate_this which has photographs of food from all over the world.

Earth Album is very easy to use all you have to do is click on a country e.g "Australia" to see photos of that country. The resolution of the photos is fantastic. For an example the photos of food look so good that they make you hungry!!

I would definitely recommend having a look at Earth Album:)

until next time happy blogging

as always you faithful blogger

Critical evaluation of a You Tube Video

Hello again my Favourite Followers

For you I now present my Critical evaluation of a You Tube video.

Sesamestreet (2008) Sesamestreet: Cookie Monster In The Library date viewed 6 July 2010 www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3ZHPJT2Kp4

The target audience for this video is preschool children but it can be enjoyed by older children and adults alike.

In this video viewers receive a humours insight into visiting a library for the first time and what the client (Cookie Monster) perceives the Library to contain.

The authority for this video is Sesamestreet which as an educational children's program makes this an authoritative video. This Video is highly amusing and a great way to introduce young children to libraries.

It also shows how not to deal with a frustrating client!

all in all this video is well worth a look for both children and adults.

hope it makes you laugh

see you soon

Critical evaluation of a Wiki

Hi everyone here I am as promised with my critical evaluation of a wiki.

Faranks, M. 2010 Library Success: A Best practices wiki viewed on 23/06/2010 http://www.libsuccess.org/

This wiki is a great source of information for anyone working in the library industry. Library Success: A Best Practices Wiki was created by Meredith Faranks as a place to collect and organise information being shared by librarians all over the world. Meredith Faranks is a librarian, a teacher and a writer which makes her an excellent authority. Anyone can add or edit the topics of the wiki however as the target audience is librarians I think its safe to say its authoritative.
some of the topics covered by this wiki are books, librarianship, Management and Leadership just to name a few! this wiki is a fantastic source of information on the libraries. If I was you I would definitely check it out
