Comment on PicApp Exercise
I remember attempting to put pictures on the Blog last year and I had some sucesses and some failures! You can see aloong my blogtrail various images which don't display properly! With a little help from my friend Tosca, I have found a a cool photo from a long way back. I decided to type in Youth Library to see whether there were any cool pics but there were only 2!!! Very disappointing! Anyway I liked this one because it reminds me of days gone by when libraries were very "traditional" and I imagine that these young ladies would have had to whisper! I also had a luagh because the caption said that the girls were filling out a survey - not so different from today afterall!!!
Another question I have about PicAppc is whether the caption should be showing on my post?
I found the exercise useful as I know that many people want to put pictures on their social networking sites and I am sure that I will have a question at some stage from one of our library patrons about this in the future. I will keep my instructions in easy reach for that day.... I think that this application could have some use for people who want to get overseas images for homework tasks. From my experience, most students use Google images for their projects. Our library currently provides great local photos on our website for students e.g footprints. There are also some great photos available on teara.net.nz
I may visit this site again in the future from time to time when I conduct Reference interviews. Meanwhile I may practise with a few more images to "pretty up" my blog!
Jesus Freak!
