I can see blogs providing both an excellent tool of communication between the library and the community and also among the staff. At the moment we keep a communication book on the public desk which updates staff on the daily businesses that happen on the public floor. This is also the primary means of communication between the regular staff and the weekend casual staff. Due to the building work that's been done to our library building, we are operating from two premises and I think having an "electronic communication book" i.e. in the form of a blog will be particularly useful so all staff will be able to access the same information at a click of the mouse, and any follow-ups can be as easily updated and made available.
I am very excited to be doing the Web 2.0 course, it has certainly opened my eyes to the many new technologies that are out there that can enhance the interactions between within the library and with the community we are trying to serve, and on this note I am very happy to be able to post my very first blog to the web~~!
