Week 9
Step 23

Wow, I made it!
It is amazing what technology is out their, just at your finger tips. Youtube, flickr,mashups, newreader accounts, wkiks, sandbox, net library only to mention some.
It was well worth taking the time to have a look at what is happpening out there, the rate of change is amazing.
I see that netlibrary has a huge potentional for lots of reasons, as long as you have the internet you can access so much. People with disabilities, problems with distance, languages, sight and time issues can access titles and download them to their computers, ipods and mp3 player and listen to their books, radio sessions or extract from magazines.
I must acknowledge the wonderful assistance, encouragement and patiences that both Denise and Lynette have shown, it has been greatly appreciated.

Net Library

Week 9
Step 22

Have checked net library collection of titles, had a listen to "Clever Gretel" by Brothers Grimm and "The little Match girl" by Hans Christian Anderson.
The quality of the recordings is excellent. The potential for visual impaired people to ultalize this fomat is huge. Once the collection is increased to cater for all taste I can see that Net libtrary will be very successful. Individuals will be able to make a selection of titles and down load them to their mp3 player an have hours of listening please at their finger tips.
