Investigative Exercise 2. Blogs
These were three very interesting blogs.
The "Librarian in Black" was extremely interesting with fascinating, even ground-breaking stories about privacy issues revolving around Adobe eBooks, and a litany of "sad but true" tales of sexual harassment within the workplace, which were eye-popping to say the very least!!
However, I chose the "eRecords Project" blog
from the SLNSW, predominantly because of the post regarding Pinterest, which I
only recently found out about myself! It was inspiring, if a little mind
boggling to read of all the different ways the working group found to fully
utilise this medium.
There were many obvious examples for its' use, but the “reading list” of books set, published or written in NSW, and an area for research guides and resources for HSC students and teachers were novel and valuable ideas I thought. Despite the fact that it wasn't something I would have thought of immediately, the fact that the most popular board continues to be HSC resources, targeting high school students and their teachers, shows the benefits Pinterest has brought to all users of this exciting medium!
I hadn't realised that Pinterest had any issues regarding gender specificity either!
