NO SOUND THEREFORE NO TONE

Rotorua Library's sparkling slideshows were great. If I were young I'd like looking at them. Found other Library sites to be full of stuff but with little comment which means little interaction. Having popular content invites more interaction.

I have left a message on Facebook and found it useful if you want to contact someone in a foreign country urgently and do not know their email.

The Black Tulip by Alexandre Dumas was so easy to find.

Could be read - page by page

just didn't get that feeling you get when you handle a book

The museum detective, Dr Joanna Cobley ' finds stories from behind the scenes of the museum world. Shows how diverse museums and their collections are.

This site won the Best spoken programme access in the 2008 Radio New Zealand Awards. The detective's clues keep appearing on my blogline - interesting.

Would prefer to use Matapihi if I wanted to search through many databases to find images of New Zealand. Rollyo did not search databases. All the extra sites on the screen were annoying and difficult to delete..
