Videos online: well I knew about youtube pretty quickly from having teenagers, and my favourite video from youtube is a morphing video which features the faces of lovely women in art.
And of course a lot of the short training videos for this course came from youtube. The commoncraft videos were very simple but effective.
Given a video camera, library staff could also record simple instructional videos or tours of our libraries and services. Longer multimedia presentations could be uploaded to slideshow. Now to wish for a camera and time to do these things.
Our local history cemetry tour which was so popular could become in time a webbased tour that anyone could do from their internet or use Iphone for commentary while actually walking the cemetry.

google there's more
So now I've covered google applications which help with language translation, perhaps this will come in handy with clients at the library or to add greetings in other languages in my online store.
Then I created a personal i-google homepage with daily updates of my favourite topics and a themed leunig banner.
I added a staff meeting to my google calendar and sent a reminder email to myself at work. We could remind clients with their permission of course by sending them emails about events they have booked into, so that they don't forget to come along.
So far we use software to send a reminder email when their books are nearly due back, but as this is part of the Sirsi software, it is easier to administer.
I've located an online copy of Dante's Inferno for my son through google books. And reminded him where his nearest library is to borrow a copy.
I've made a tourists and residents places to see and go google map of Rockhampton. I think the map is already here embedded in an earlier post, but on revisiting the map I found some details needed updating so I've added and deleted some details.
