Goodreads

Good reader advisory service is not just about giving customers what are the most popular books, which you may find from such websites as amazon. The Goodreads website is both 'diversed' and 'personalized'. You can have a broader view about books while browsing others' bookshelves and the book reviews. Some customers, or even yourself, may like to try something new and the Goodreads website is a good place to look at. It just likes looking at other people's lunchbox and you then can get some new ideas when preparing your next meal!!

Twitter

'Curiosity kills a cat, but satisfaction brings it back.' These pictures from Pakuranga Library are so ..... Well, only 1 more day to go....

It is easy to sign up with all those user-friendly instructions. The customers may find it simple if they have some computer knowledge and keen on socializing and finding interesting stuff on the Internet. We can of course use this in the learn.nets and our workrooms because they are library-related social networking! I will visit this site from time to time and post my comments/feedbacks for any interesting topics. Manukau Libraries can promote any forthcoming events via Twitter and enhance customers' interaction with those library's 'titbits'. I hope we can get rid of those stereotyped images of librarians (with buns, glasses, shushes .....) with all those tweets! This may be one of the reasons why I will promote Twitter to the customers!

Well, this is the 2nd week of my blog journey!

The Zamzar website is both user-friendly and helpful. Although I do not know so much about all those file formats, I can still refer this website to the customers who need help in converting their files. Sometimes customers know better than me what sort of files they are after and they just need a suitable tool to finish this job. And here comes the Zamzar!
