Thanks Katherine, yeah I was bit disappointed that they didn’t inquire anything of me in that 2 hours, they didn’t ask anything of the other lady too. Still I am glad of the experience my son and I had.
Hi Catlin, I think you’re right it was quite unstructured and the librarians are probably bored because not many people turn up for such programs but my son thoroughly enjoyed the experience, I’d like to take him again.
Hi Steven,
are you working with me and Saurav or not? Actually we’re open to work in a group of 3. Please reply to my thread to confirm.
Thanks
Hi guys,
Have you thought of a topic yet? My country Bhutan has only 1 public library, Thimphu Public Library and they run only reading programs for children and not much more. The library’s official website is here, which is not much of a website either. According to the World Bank report 2013, internet user in Bhutan is 29.9% therefore there exist a digital divide in the society.
so how about if we looked at addressing digital divide in Bhutan (or say developing countries), we could propose programs for information/digital literacy in libraries. This is just the foundation (context) and we could discuss and take it from there. Please let me know what you guys think.

Thanks
Hi Saurav and Steven, yes I’d love to team up, 3 heads definitely better than 1. I’ll work hard. Thanks 🙂
Thanks for the little insight into the ‘Program review’, I have not attended any programs in the library yet so it will be interesting to reflect on the experience. As for your program, the reason for the low turnaround could be because of all the points you have stated plus I am of the opinion that people may not be finding much use of such programs besides the educators and the students. Like you said, timing is also important, Monday to Friday everybody is too busy to attend and on the weekend when people do have some leisure time the libraries are closed.
Hi Debbie, I was skeptical of using Twitter as learning tool too; in fact in my “Information Managment” unit, we used Twitter to collaborate but nothing good came out of it. However, thanks to Kate, it’s a fantastic tool. With the hashtags, Tweet deck and storify features, Kate has made Twitter an invaluable learning tool.
I enjoyed the Twitter chat sessions very much and learnt a lot from there but I found writing the reflection quite daunting because there’s so much information there and it was tough trying to channel all that into one post. Great read as usual. Cheers 🙂
That’d be great Robynne, apparently there’s so many things I can learn from you. I’m following you on Twitter, I’ll tweet you, thanks 🙂
Hi Robyne thank you very much for the kind words, your feedback means so much to me because you’re very learned and positive person. Please be critical and let me know if somethings are not right, I’m very new to libraries so open to criticism and eager to learn. As for the materials I think QUT does have a small collection but does not have all the novels I intend to read, it’s quite frustrating. Thank you :).
Hi Stacey, you have made a very strong point of argument, I agree with you, children should be encouraged to read not forced. It’s in the human nature to dislike anything that’s forced upon us and children are no different.
By the way did you read Kate’s latest email? She said to use the contextual hyperlinks (which you did) in your posts and not to list the references like we normally do.
Thanks
Hi there, have you noticed that you have made a multiple posts on the same topic? Perhaps you should keep this one and deleted the duplicates, just an observation. Thanks 🙂
My dear friend how interestingly you write..enjoyed reading. I’m still not sure about referencing on blog, I feel like doing it the APA style, like Debbie has done. I still need to learn more of that.
Hello Kate, yes I am a frequent user of the library except I didn’t know what I was doing was using the reference service of the library. Thanks for dropping by.
