Reflection Practice Made Easy - Gibbs Model ...Thing 17

This has been the first 'Thing' that I really have had to go over and over again. It actually made me Reflect a lot on my other blogs ,especially with the depth of reflection that is required with a blog using the Gibbs Model of Reflection/ Learning by doing. I think its a great way to tackle any new job role/ project /task or anything that requires time and effort at least you can follow some guidelines to keep a process flowing. As we are all aware of setting time aside for a task and wander off checking e-mails etc. and getting nothing done efficiently(well at least it can be me at times)

Using this process would be very much applicable with any task that I would have to complete within my library role. I think its a very effective way to ensure we are completing a task efficiently it makes us aware of reading the task in question carefully so that we fully understand whats required. The points outlined Description, Feelings, Evaluation, Analysis, Conclusion and Action plan are very well covered in the Gibbs Model. This is something I would try to apply with further tasks ahead with Rudai 23 and with my current position as a Library Assistant.

Collaboration Tools Thing 16

So having looked at Google Drive and the link to the document in Latin I added in my few Latin pieces!!! Salvete ... Valete... So looking at both of them I would not use them at work myself but I can see the advantages.

Looking at Doodle which is used here through our staff portal for examination times...meeting s etc...
I also looked at collaboration tools on pinterest .. o my god there is so much to look at it the great advantage of it is the ability to pin it for later I will have so much to look at by the end of this course . Unfortunately I am trying to play catch up so i have not got the extra time to keep browsing but i will look for forward to all my pins!!!!

#Advocacy For Libraries Thing 15

Hello all... I have given my opinions on Advocacy for Libraries already as I took part in the Twitter chat on the 6th Sept 8.30-9.30, which I really enjoyed as it was my first ever twitter chat and I also got into the use of the # symbol as we had to use the #Rchat with our replies on the different topics.

Very interesting topic and I thought it was a great way to converse on it through Twitter......

librARi - Augmented Reality Experience for Library# Thing 14

Loving this..

Having looked at various AR apps, I really enjoyed the experience, As you can see above this is my favourite LibrAri . So when will this become a reality ?? As I feel it would be a welcomed one!!!

I have never seen AR used in libraries or used it myself but think its a great idea. I also liked the Anatomy 4D (my kids even liked it more so.!!)
We also tried out Aurasma but it would not work for us as they were mad to see some thing coming to life so to speak. So maybe i will give Layar a try over the weekend, if i get up and going i will update this post ........Wish me luck!

Thing 13

Having looked at the various federations within Ireland, the one I would subscribe to is the( LAI )Library association of Ireland. So I have printed the membership form and I am going to have a look at joining them. This might not be applicable to me on a big scale (or maybe it will) with what I do as a library assistant as it might be geared at Librarians. However, I will give it a go as I feel if anything it will keep me up to date with all that's going on in the Library world......

I have had a look at other ones also CILIP, IFLA which are very interesting also, I did not subscribe but looked to even be included in newsletters etc.

Pinterest have what seems an endless list of professional organisations so I have pinned what I felt as best suited to me. CILIP, LIB Focus... Something I will look at over this week....
