Charles Sturt University Library, 2010, Your Library Out Loud - Podcasts, viewed 24th April 2010, http://www.csu.edu.au/division/library/how-to/podcasts/
The Charles Sturt University Library podcasts are done by the 8 libraries spread across various campuses. The University is an authoritative library. The podcasts have some very useful information for new students using the library such as an introduction to the library, borrowing tips and information on services for offshore students. There is also podcasts on Ebooks, exam survival tips and information on Google tools. At the moment there are currently 15 podcasts to listen to and 17 podcasts to download onto iTunes which you can listen to them on your iPod. You are able to subscribe to the podcasts by entering in your email address and the new podcasts will be sent directly to your inbox. I like the information on the Google tools as it goes into detail on how to use the different Google tools to help you with your research other than using just the standard Google search.
You can find the podcasts here

Rollyo
Today in class we had a look at Rollyo. This was the first time i had a go at Rollyo and it took me a while to understand how to use it. Once i played around with it more and read the about page i realised that it is quite simple to use. My searchroll that i created was the blog, wiki, podcast and flickr page that i critically evaluated. I also added this blog and Youtube.

Princeton Public Library Wiki
Princeton Public Library, 2010, Book Lovers Wiki, viewed 11th April 2010, http://booklovers.pbworks.com/Princeton%20Public%20Library
The Book Lovers Wiki is run by the Princeton Public Library which is an authoritative Library. The wiki is for the summer reading program who writes reviews on the books that they read. There are reviews from all types of genres from chic lit to horror to classics. Anyone in their summer reading program can contribute to the wiki however you must register first either by emailing, phoning or at the Library’s Welcome Desk. The summer reading program is for adults as there are reviews for Angels and Demons and How to Kill a Mocking bird however children can still contribute if they want to. This wiki is good to see what different books are about and what rating the book was given.
The wiki can be found here

WEbook
I found this website today called WEbook which can be found here
It is a great site where new authors can post their books online where everyday people can review it. It starts off with an author posting their first chapter and if enough people like that first chapter they then submit the first 5 pages. Then if enough people like the 5 pages they then submit 50 pages until they submit their whole manuscript. The books that make it through the whole process lets literary agents and publishers know what real readers want to see on the shelves and those books can soon be published.
Because I love this website and have signed up to review the writers work i decided to do an annotated citation on it.

WEbook was created by Itai Kohavi. WEbook is an authoritative site. It brings together thousands of writers, published authors, readers and established literary agents, for the purpose of finding talented writers, and helping them get published. Because anyone can review your work you can get easily marked down which can affect your chances of getting through to the next stage. WEbook is good for anyone young or old as they have a variety of genres including Teen/Young Adult and Sci Fi/Fantasy. I really like this website because as a writer you are that one step closer to getting your story published and as a reader/reviewer you get to help choose what books are being published plus you get to read them for free as they are put on WEbook.
