Week 6: Photos & Images

Week 6: Photos & Images
Checked out Flickr and found many fantastic images - the quality of images appears to be much higher than what can be found on Google Images.

Week 3: Wikis

Wikis are a great way to share information, and are easily edited and expanded. I have created a Redmond Barry Desk Wiki for:
Patents – Historic Australian, British & American Patents + brief notes on NZ, Canada, France, Italy and Belgium patents at SLV
This outlines the print collections of patents held by the State Library of Victoria; the published indexes; and the online resources available for searching historic and current patents.
I look for to adding additional information and some images to this Wiki in the future.

Week 5: Tagging, Folksonomies & Technorati

Week 5: Tagging, Folksonomies & Technorati has been interesting, and a little challenging.
I have an understanding of tags (tagging) and del.icio.us/; and the slv chat del.icio.us sites are useful when on the chat service. I can see me using LibraryThing in the future to catalogue all my gardening books and all my wife's cookbooks.

Week 4: RSS & Newsreaders

I have set up 4 x RSS feeds via Google reader, linked from the ANZ Reference Centre.

An excellent way to keep up to date with current information.

Daturas and Brugmansias

Beautiful but poisonous.
Daturas and Brugmansias - all part of these plants, including the flowers, are poisonous.

Daturas and Brugmansias - what's the difference ?

Daturas, Brugmansias or Angels Trumpets or Devils Trumpets - what is the diference ?
Daturas and Brugmansias are both from the family Solanaceae.


Brugmansias have flowers that point down.

Daturas have flowers that point down, and are called Devils Trumpets.

Thoughts on blogging.

As a first time blogger, it's a little confusing. But let's see how it goes.
