Where to start?
Sangeet was a fantastic trainer who tried to pack as much information into the three day course as she possibly could. I have taken away so many ideas and suggestions that I hope to be able to introduce, not just in my place of work but also to my way of working.
It's essential that the library service keeps up with developments in technology and the changing needs and expectations of their users - this course has provided a great introduction to these and more importantly pointed us in the right direction, or 'what to do next?' I would suggest that this course and it's content be identified by libraries in Wales as a training need not just an optional training opportunity, it's too important to ignore!
The break between days two and three was a good thing, and it would be really useful if we could have regular 'catch up' sessions with Sangeet . Some form of ongoing online support would also be much appreciated.

Are we CyberSavvy in Flintshire?
Just a brief outline of some of the ways I would like to apply the internet safety guidelines given to us on day three of the WiseKids Cymal 2011 course. Wednesday, 9 November 2011
Project update for Flintshire Libraries
Here is a more detailed breakdown of my project plans:
I have met with my manager and discussed my initial idea of creating two separate blogs to demonstrate the potential for our service and users :
1. Libraries in Flintshire - to promote library service to the public
2. FLIS FALLS - a tool for staff to share and 'cascade ' any new service developments or training with colleagues.
These examples will be presented to colleagues and management before going live.
In addition to I am also going to be reviewing Flintshire County Council's policy for social networking (and creating business plans where necessary!) to see what other aspects of the WiseKids sessions we can introduce to the service.

Finally made it!!
Hi everyone,
My name is Kate Leonard and I work for Flintshire County Council as Community Librarian for Flint and the surrounding area. I left the two day course filled with ideas and enthusiasm which have only slightly faded with time and the reality of our corporate social networking policy.
My project will be a 'double demonstration' of the potential of blogs in both service promotion and staff training. I hope to share these examples with colleagues and management (as well as this group!)
See you in a week or so!
