On completing the Social Networking component, I can see lots of possibilities with joining groups on line that share similar interests and there are a wide range of sites to choose from. This is another great way of communicating and sharing up-to-date news with friends and family, and also of creating or joining a network of new friends. A trendy way of social networking when my family and friends aren't physically available.

I have now completed three components of Licence2testdrive and am finding it really interesting. I can see it could become quite addictive and that it's fun to find new ways of communicating with both colleagues and friends. Of course from a service point of view it is really essential to know and use new forms of technology to assist patrons and provide information that is most up-to-date and relevant to the patron at hand. Although initially it would seem that young people are the ones exploring and using blogs, wikkis etc., senior members of the community are really enthusiastic about learning the new technology too. They have the time to learn and want to keep informed. So, Learning2tesdrive will assist a very wide range of library patrons.
