Conclusion of module 5 and INF506

I can't believer that I am at the end of my last module. I never thought I would reach this place in my learning.

What next???
Well I guess the answer to that is to get stuck into the two assignments I have to do. I am feeling comfortable with the second assignment as I have already done my 3 online journal activities so I guess that means at least half of that assignment is done.
The first assignment is doing my head in though as I really want to get a strong start on it, but I also want to wait to see how the library blog ends up. I guess I will search out readings etc and work on my plan etc so that it won't be as time consuming when I really need to be doing it.

Having read Tim O'Reilly and John Battelle's blogs I have done as suggested and added them to my blog list on my home page of my blog.
Since beginning this subject I have added many good blogs to the list, a list that didn't exist before the start of this subject.

Oh well, off to look at my other poor neglected subject as well as trying to get a start on these assignments.

Social networking and information policy - module 5 at last!!!!

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am so happy to be up to my last module.

I have completed my 3 online journal activities and after I finish this module I will be able to start work on my project which is well under way, although it is a shame that the school holidays are here as the kids at school have really embraced the blog and I am worried that this momentum may come to a halt. On the other hand if we have a few wet days they might go on the blog to kill time. Only time will tell I guess.

What is information policy?

"Information policy is the set of all public laws, regulations and policies that encourage, discourage or regulate the creation, use, storage and communication of information." (Weingarten, 1989).

What policy issues have resulted from social networking?

 

I watched this video in amazement as all of the facts and figures were given.

My 16 year old son also watched in amazement, except he said that it went too fast to be able to process the information.

The part of the video that had the most impact on me was the way the size of computers has decreased over the years, as has the cost of computers.

Really good stuff, I think that I will put this onto the staff blog as it is something everyone should see.

I am so very glad that I have completed my 3 online activities as the remainder of this unit of work dealt with online activities.

If I have time though I wouldn't mind coming back to do the activity related to the YouTube clip as it looks like it would be interesting to do.

module 5 is doing my head in......

Well here I sit today realizing that I should probably have worked my way through this a bit sooner than I have.
I am only up to exercise 8 which is on page 16 out of 37 pages in my module print out.

Who would have thought that it would take this long?

Probably when I was going out to lunch last week and the week before I really should have been here in front of the computer.
As it is, I should be working on my assignment but unfortunately I haven't done the required exercises that will enable me to complete the assignment to a satisfactory standard.
Oh well, it's not due until the 13th so I guess I will keep chipping away at it bit by bit until I finish.
Unfortunately at the moment I still don't really grasp it, and when I think I do get it I read the forum and realize that I have no clue at all and I am on a totally different page to everyone else who has been working on module 5.
Help!! Who really cares about access points, genre headings, theme headings and any other type of heading????

One thing I have managed to learn while doing this subject is that I don't think that I will ever become a cataloger, it just does your head in!
