?
I am doing this in the library and have not actually been in class (I don't do web) so let me know if can invite or join others blogs in the class but it isn't immediately clear... Nearly finished now... home straight. all in one day too.

I've added a nice logo to my salmon blog and may continue to personalise it as time goes on. Some sponsors or links...
Recommendation
Local Studies: I think my local library, Lane Cove has reasonably good 2.0 technologies in place for the community. Lots of pictures available of the local area but if i had to offer any improvements I would recommend the sort of genealogy links at this library in Northern Ireland which allows people to navigate old records to find family members or other information or the availability of newspaper back issues would be excellent. In the case of Children’s 2.0 I think there are lots of ways in which Lane Cove library could be improved with the availability of online interactive children's books or online encyclopedias for children. Especially when you bear in mind how much more we rely on technology in the past twenty years even. The toddlers of today will be required to understand some technological stuff. And as with everything, if you are exposed to it from a young age it comes so much more naturally(follow the link for an example of this!)
Finally the Teenage/Youth 2.0. This is quite good but it is very focused on their studies and less so on reading for pleasure, which is to my mind as important. So possibly online comics or graphic novels. Like with the children, a lot of teenagers are very computer savvy so possibly social media would be the way to go here.

Evaluation
Local Studies:
Lane Cove Library has family history resources with census's and musters, as well as many lists to help people track down their ancestors. There is also pictures of 'The street where you live' in the past.
Children’s:
There isn't so much here but there are lists and numbers of schools and nurseries which would be very useful to parents just moved to the area. However it is certainly less comprehensive than the local studies 2.0
Teenage/Youth
For teenagers the online resources are quite good at Lane Cove with HSC resources and lots of them. Past exam papers and weblinks. Loads of useful stuff.

Community Profiles
I live in Lane Cove at the moment, so Lane Cove Council. They seem to have quite a strong community spirit. They're always having meet the neighbours days and carry on like that and the Library is very much an extension of this. They're always doing things for kids at the library and they also have lots of events for elderly people like computer literacy course. I would say the library is very representative of the community in this area.
