RSS

Well, I braved the world of RSS! I think I have the hang of it, but time will tell. Haven't quite worked out how to add an RSS feed to this blog, but I know someone I can ask.

Using RSS in the work place would be very time-saving. I love the way updates are automatically sent to you as they happen. Libraries that use this technology can keep more in touch with updated information which will certainly benefit library patrons.

Dropping By

It is very busy in the library at the moment, now that school holidays have descended upon us. It seems to be prime time for new memberships and parents looking for something to do with their children.

I am planning a trip to New Zealand later in the year and have been working out my itinerary and my budget. I have located little gems like http://www.standbycars.com.au/ which offers campervans and cars from as little as $1 per day. Wow! It simply asks that you deliver the car/van to another destination within a certain time frame. You can use this in Australia or NZ, so if there is any of you looking for a budget option for a little travel in Oz, this could be your answer.

I may decide to go with the Flexipass system instead. You buy a certain number of hours to access coach travel around New Zealand and if you prefer to sit back and let someone else do the driving then this is a good way to go. You can hop on and off as you please.

For information about New Zealand you can't really go past www.newzealand.com
