#20 SHAREPOINT

I would have to say that this was the hardest THING I have had to do. There are so many options and it was very slow in uploading my image. Not "user-friendly".

I like SharePoint because it has all the news we need in the one spot. I have just read about NetLibrary timing out etc.. The Liaison Librarian area could be particularly useful, if only we all had the time to look at it in more detail. We could post PPT slides for info lit classes & handouts etc. Creating a wiki and/or blog could also be useful. I have suggested that the Banyo Library create a Help Desk Manual Wiki - perhaps one could be created on SharePoint for all campus libraries to use (with sub categories for the campus specific info)?

I have been interested in looking at the working documents page - have found some informative pieces of info.

Creating the calender in Outlook was quite straightforward.

It certainly is a good idea to set up alerts to the pages within SharePoint, so you know when something has been added or changed.

Someone also pointed out to me that SharePoint is a good place to find out information on what is happening in the Faculties, e.g. meetings. I agree - it has been very interesting looking at these pages.

I will be spending more time exploring SharePoint, as there is such a lot of information to get through. Not one of my favourite THINGS, but still interesting and useful all the same.
