Progressing

The experience of learning how to blog is truly unusual. I am looking with a critical eye at my first attempt yesterday. Complete detachment from what it is realistically all about. Well, for those unfortunate individuals who happened or will happen to follow my progress, this is just a LEARNING EXPERIENCE that will hopefully open my mind to the new, far reaching web-based communication technologies. And this new global ‘at-your fingertips’ approach has such a potential in the information delivery sector. I have so far looked at the Flikr and realised how vast is the spectrum of data that can be found there. The potential of an image as a search tool is just amazing. For instance digital images of rare material available in library collections contain also information about those items so in a way play a role of a visual catalogue. Since Flikr and similar sites have a huge audience, they can be used to advertise/comment in both positive and negative way on absolutely any subject.
