Investigative exercise 9 : You and Social Media
Instagram is my main/favourite social media tool. I only really use it to post pictures of my artworks and connect to other artists. It is a great platform to use in this context and very exciting when people like your pictures and start following you, givong a great boost of confidence on what your creating. It is also really interesting to follow people who you are inspired by so when you check your feed everyday you find lots of inspiring pictures.
Exercise 8 : CURRENT AWARENESS POST
As somebody who doesn't have a Facebook account because of privacy beliefs. I could really identify with the 'Privacy Matters' clip. I think that more people should be educated in privacy settings if they are on Facebook. There are many users who are extremely naive when it comes to privacy settings on social media, not knowing the potential dangers of hackers.
Investigative exercise 7 : Podcasts
I went to the National Library of Australia
https://www.nla.gov.au/audio/the-shrieking-sisterhood
THE SHRIEKING SISTERHOOD - stories of the suffragette movement.
This podcast was recorded on the 10th of June 2016 By Dr Anne Summers AO and Dr Beatrice Bijon as they discuss the suffrage movement in Australia and early 20th century womens suffrage material that is held in the libraries collection.

Investigative exercise 6 : Wikipedia
As an avid researcher of anything that interests me, i use wikipedia frequently.
During this time i have noticed that there are some serious issues of unreliability and inaccurate information. I think that the libraries iniative to improve accurate information on Wikipedia is a great service to the community. Due to the high volume of users on that site it would be great to improve reliability of correct accounts and information on a giant scale such as this.

Investigative exercise 5 : Social networking
In this current time, the participation of libraries on social media sites are definately a good idea.
It is a good idea because it keeps the library revant and up to date with the community. Through social media tools like Facebook libraries can reach people that they may not have been able to reach before. Through Facebook events, libraries can inform the community about important events. The use of social media can help the library interact with the community through sharing and comments.
Investigative exercise 3 : Photosharing and Flickr

This photo is from the Ultimo TAFE Library and it shows the International meeting place in the library. It is very helpful for international students.

Investigative exercise 2 blogs
I really enjoyed reading the Librarian in Black blog.
One post that really interested me was the Annual Ehles-Danlos Awareness Month obligatory post because she conveyed how this particular syndrom effects her daily life and also explained what the syndrome is for people like myself who have never heard of this syndrome.

Investigative exercise 1
My understanding of web 2.0 before this subject would be 'what is that?' But now knowing that it is another term for Social media i understand.
It has been very insightful to find out that libraries use web 2.0 tools as a main advertizing/interective/informative way of connecting with its users.
Libraries commonly use Facebook, Flickr and Youtube.
