Diary of a Library School Work Placement: Part II →. Diary of a Library School Work Placement: Part I. January 25, 2012.

Block Capitals: Professionalism
http://blockcapitals.blogspot.com/2011/07/professionalism.html
A Cambridge library blog. Friday, 22 July 2011. In an earlier post here, I said that I wanted to think about the relation between professionalism and a political commitment. Having since read two essays that deal with the matter and express ideas basically similar to each other, I thought I should at least go into more detail. John Pilger's essay 'Brainwashing the Polite, Professional and British Way'. Is inspired by Jeff Schmidt's book. His study of a country doctor, is another approach.). In Britain, l...

Block Capitals: July 2011
http://blockcapitals.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
A Cambridge library blog. Wednesday, 27 July 2011. I decided my film wasn’t worth remaking. Anyway, the grapes were sour: screencasting hadn’t excited me. For what’s at bottom a series of menu choices, I wondered if the putative puzzled person would find it quicker to take in written instructions, and easier to refer back to them. But really, this only shows that I couldn’t think of a truly visual library computer task (the LibrarySearch. Tuesday, 26 July 2011. To mark those killed. In Oslo and on Utøya,.

Block Capitals: June 2011
http://blockcapitals.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
A Cambridge library blog. Friday, 24 June 2011. Neither did Template Designer give me control over the text size, or font properties other than colour, to apply to the blog description. It didn't give me control over the text size to apply to date headers. And I couldn't have my blog title appear in capitals (which seemed important). On the other hand, you're free to edit the HTML template, where I could do these things. Oh all right—Nintendo games. I'll post later on making my blog. Labels: 9 July 2011.

Block Capitals: Pushnote and Evernote
http://blockcapitals.blogspot.com/2011/09/pushnote-and-evernote.html
A Cambridge library blog. Friday, 2 September 2011. On first sight I thought Pushnote didn't do much that was new; that it was another social bookmarking system like Delicious. I do like those systems: pivot browsing on tags and—better—usernames can sometimes introduce you to worthwhile new sites. I've long lost the habit of keeping a social bookmarking account current, though. I don't think I'm missing much. 9 September 2011 at 10:52. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Girl in the Moon.

Pocket universe: July 2011
http://pocketverse.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 27 July 2011. A flock of sneaky water drops. By Steve took it. Since I had very little to say for myself at the Cam23 2.0. Reflection week meetup on Monday, I thought I had better use my blog to express my thoughts about the programme so far. Google docs and Evernote. Have already been useful as places to save thoughts and images to use in this blog, and I will continue to use them. I don't really need to use Doodle. The only thing I don't like and definitely won't be using again is Pushnote.

Pocket universe: Playing with Prezi
http://pocketverse.blogspot.com/2011/09/playing-with-prezi.html
Sunday, 4 September 2011. My first attempt at a Prezi. Shown below, is pretty mundane, given all the options available, but it took me a while just to get the hang of the basics, so I didn't think I should try anything too complicated just yet. Having recently been on a very enjoyable walking holiday, I thought I'd bore you with some of my photos. Walking the South Downs. Presentations I featured in my last blog post. QR Codes - What are they? Labels: Extra thing week 13. 9 September 2011 at 03:12.

Pocket universe: Wikis
http://pocketverse.blogspot.com/2011/09/wikis.html
Saturday, 17 September 2011. The penultimate Thing, and I seem to have a mental block! I'm not really sure what I can say about wikis that hasn't been covered in the Cam23 2.0 post for this Thing. My experience of them, aside from regular (probably too regular) use of Wikipedia. Our web officer has since moved us to WCMS. Which gives advice on using Wikis for projects and covers some of the advantages and disadvantages to using them. A glance at a site like WikiIndex. To the slightly strange! Well done f...
