# 23 Last one YEAH!!

I can't believe I have finished the learning 2.0 program. I found most of the going pretty tough, when I look at the other blogs mine is pretty basic, though I am proud of what I have achieved as at the beginning I wouldn't have thought it was possible. I am not really computer minded so I have had to ask for help quite often, Larrikin's Lurch has been a real help to me, and she urged me on when I was ready to give up.The program has taught me a lot about new technology which I didn't even know existed. I enjoyed the 'library thing' as I have quite a collection of books, also the image generator was a fun because I got to design my own m&m.

# 22 Audio books

The concept of downloadable audio books is a fantastic idea, it would make it easier for library customers to access books. At the moment audio books tend to get damaged easily, tapes break and discs get scratched, and when it is an old item, it is not always replaceable. So having books which you can download for a loaning period makes a lot of sense to me.It is probably a service I would use if our library had it.

# 21 Podcasts

For this exercise I had a look at podcast.net, I searched under libraries and the most recent podcast date was 25/5/2006,also a lot of them wouldn't play. Then I had a look at the Library channel and I couldn't get any of them to play,from there I went to book reviews, but most of them were movies. I finally came across 'Authors on tour' which I put into my bloglines. Personally I wouldn't use podcasts as I am not into all this technology, but I am sure there is a use for it in the libraries of the future.
