Thing 21 - Creating Infographs

    I have made a start at Creating Infographics. My idea is to show statistics from my library over a 3-4 year period.
   I used Easel.ly and chose a template. My idea is to insert graphs from Excel into Easel.ly   Also some photos. The graphs would include Footfall, Issues, Membership and Internet sessions from 2012 or 2013 (using available data) to 2015. The photos would be of activities held in the library.
   However the graphs are not uploading to Easel.ly  They are not uploading to the blog as they are not in the correct format. I have searched Easel.ly and Google and as yet I have not managed to upload the graphs or photos to Emy Infographic. This is where I would like to have a willing and knowledgeable helper, in human form! There is a way, I have not found it yet! I need to move on though and need to finish this rud/ thing soon.

   Following is the link to my Easel.ly Infographic:

Included here also are photos I planned to upload to the Infographic. The graphs are in Excel!

Thing 20 - Presentations

   I chose Prezi as my Presentation tool. I had seen a lady use this tool to present a Business, Enterprise and Employment project for the public library in early 2015. I was impressed! When it came to doing a Presentation as part of R23 I was interested in learning more about Prezi.
   I have used Powerpoint in the past for Presentations and was interested in using a new Presentation tool. I know Powerpoint works well as a tool.
   As part of my work I was asked to set up a Business, Enterprise and Employment Service in Roscommon County Library. The Guidelines for the Service were set by the Local Government Agency/ LGMA. The Guidelines were clear which helps in implementing a Service.
   I watched a few videos on Prezi and got the hang of the basics. Prezi is intuitive as a tool. I have the basics and found it fine to do up the Presentation. I would use it again.

Thing 10 - Live streaming

   I use Skype regularly with family and friends and I realise I have been live-streaming already! I tried it once for a work meeting though the reception was bad. I have tried Google Hangout also.
   I looked and listened to the R23 Hangout-on-Air where 2 of the R23 team hosted a discussion with 3 participants. The discussion included how participants would use the tools presented in R23 in a professional capacity. It was great to see and hear what can be done using Google Hangout-on-Air and YouTube. Well done R23!
  Live Streaming/ Google Hangout-on-Air tool may be used by for library conferences inc. the LAI. Due to staff and budget constraints it is not always possible for staff to attend conferences. Live Streaming is a way for staff to attend a conference in a virtual way. Staff may contribute to the conference or simply listen in. I am interested in attending a Liboncon conference in a virtual way.

         I copied both photos above from pexels.com   This website offers a free stock of photos from 1 website. Key-words are used to search for a topic eg.Libraries. I found it easy to use and download photos. It seems all images are non-Attributable though I added Attributes for the purpose of this task.

         Thing 19/ The legal side of things is full of information on copyright. From now I can make an informed decision about posting an item to a blog. If I decide to post an item I am in a position to Attribute it correctly.
