The first thing I would like to say is that from the first moment I began work in the library there has been amazing and continuous technological change. We have all embraced these changes and could not imagine working without them.
This program has once again opened my eyes to a huge amount of material, programs and free stuff on the Web.
I think the most useful thing I learned was about RSS feeds. I will use these all the time. I had never heard of them before but the next week at a training course they were mentioned so I felt very smug and knowledgable.
I now have a delicious icon on my PC, I don't know how much I will use it but I do know all about it.
As far as life long learning I think I have always pursued this and this program was organised in such a way to encourage more learning.
Congratulations to the organisers, reading all thos blogs you have my admiration.

#22 Audiobooks (or "The end is in sight ")
This is very interesting because we were thinking that downloadable books would be ideal for Outreach clients. As time goes on the people receiving this service will be much more computer savvy that the majority are now. I also think they will be more demanding as they are used to instant access to information at the moment. The list of free items seems extensive. The joining fee to access other tiems seems reasonable but I couldn't find any details of other costs involved.
