Final post is a BIG THANKS to Kathryn Greenhill our enthusiastic mentor who has let us join and share her journey. Rather than demonstrating and telling us Kathryn created a framework (based on Helene Blowers "23 Things')and then devised activities so we could use and explore each of the applications. Then to create pages on our blogs that we have enjoyed doing - most of us are pretty proud of our blogs. Across the LIbrary staff the depth of understanding of social software has rocketed. What will we do with this knowledge? Use Twitter and Googledocs and wikis and blogs to enhance communication? Has it shifted peoples' mindsets so we will not be so wary of new applications and ways of operating? It's really up to us what we do with the knowledge and way of operating (not forgetting those still to embark on this journey - mentoring roles?)
Murdoch University Library is indeed fortunate to have our Kathryn.

Didn't see this until I got home today. You are, of course, welcome. :)
Thanks for giving me a chance to try it out - the best way to learn about anything is to try to teach it.
