LinkedIn is a network that I have used, sometimes more than others. My LinkedIn profile got updated last year when I was looking at applying for a new job. It isn’t anything that I look at regularly though. Beyond when I am job hunting it doesn’t seem like a super useful tool for my career, … Continue reading 23 Things: Thing 20 – Professional Social Networks →

23 Things: Thing 19 – Altmetics
Altmetrics is a very interesting way of looking at how scholarship has a real world impact outside of the ivory tower. What it doesn’t do is comment on the quality or integrity of the research. Just because something gets shared a lot on social media doesn’t mean it’s true. Andrew Wakefield and his anti-vaccine study … Continue reading 23 Things: Thing 19 – Altmetics →
Goat stories and globalised IP
Because I’ve been writing and thinking a lot about historical fiction in medieval Bohemia, YouTube recommended to me the “Old Goat Stories”, animated movies based on central-European fairy tales. At a point in the second one, I imagined myself as a wr…
Thing 14
I find podcasts overwhelming!! There are so many available. I am also not a fan of listening to anything without visuals as I have found I am more of a visual learner than an audio learner. I also find that the times that a lot of people listen to podcasts I prefer to be quietContinue reading “Thing 14”
Thing 13
I tried to watch the suggested video about YouTube in Lynda.com but it doesn’t exist anymore! The one I did watch was 3 years old. I couldn’t find a specific training video for YouTube so I guess it is either lumped in with other social media or not as common anymore. It has been aroundContinue reading “Thing 13”
23 Things: Thing 18 – Augmented Reality
I’ve used AR before. I have played Pokemon Go and Wizards Unite, both of which were pretty cool. More recently though I’ve used Googles 3D AR animals. You just use your compatible phone and search for your desired animal using Google and then click “View in 3D” (Here’s a list of available animals). It has … Continue reading 23 Things: Thing 18 – Augmented Reality →
23 Things: Thing 17 – Geolocation Tools
I have geocached (is that a verb?) before. We used it as an activity when I was a Guider and we took our Pathfinders camping. It was very fun, though I don’t remember what website we used. I did download the app and there are a few in my area, but given the current restrictions … Continue reading 23 Things: Thing 17 – Geolocation Tools →
23 Things: Thing 16 – OneNote/ClassNotebook
I haven’t used OneNote very much but more recently (due to COVID-19) I have been using the Staff Notebook portion of Teams a lot. I like that it has sections that can be shared amongst the whole group and sections that are just between myself and my supervisor. I’ve found it intuitive and easy to … Continue reading 23 Things: Thing 16 – OneNote/ClassNotebook →
23 Things: Thing 15 – Digital Curation
I used to use Tumblr all the time but haven’t been back there in an eon. Anyway here is a link to a Tumblr in my field Books & Libraries
Thing 13: Video
Well, friends, the world sure looks different than it did when I last posted. These next two things (Thing 13 is video and Thing 14 is audio) are now incredibly topical as everyone who works in a university adjusts to teaching and learning online. For thing thirteen, we are asked to choose one of three… Read more Thing 13: Video
Thing 11 and 12
I’m sooo glad to see something about copyright in this course as it is so important to understand and respect the work people have done. Someone has taken the time to think about, create and put out in the world something they think is important. This work should be respected and dealt with accordingly byContinue reading “Thing 11 and 12”
Thing 10
I have been using Wikipedia for years as a fist resource when helping customers in the library. It can be very helpful for understanding what a topic is about and/or to find primary sources for the topic at the bottom. It has evolved over the years to be well respected overall & is especially timelyContinue reading “Thing 10”
