Exercise 10 Evaluation

Bankstown library
Web 2.0 has allowed development into libraries to come through many different means. It has changed the entire methods of practice in libraries.

Local Studies: History of Bankstown and suburbs, local history and family history/genealogy. The Local Studies collection is a specialised collection of material covering historic and current aspects of the Bankstown area. The collection is housed in the Local History Room, 2nd Floor Bankstown Library, and includes (but is not limited to) books, photographs, historical records, council minutes and rate books. Local Studies items are not available for loan, however items may be copied upon request.

Children’s: A range of activities and special events designed for educational play for children. The Kidzone has many links for children to use encouraging learning through fun activities.

Teenage/Youth:  HSC links are available, HSC lectures, online databases to find books and DVD’s.

Adult Fiction: eAudio books, eBooks, eFilms, eMagazines, eMusic, eNewspapers, Online Computer training, Online Research Databases.

Information/Reference:  You can find information on all subjects and areas of interest. If you require information for an assignment or project, it is useful if you can bring your questions with you. The staff can find information from other libraries if they don't have what you are looking for in the collections. You can also start a search in the library catalogue.

These all use forms of social media to keep the public notified and make it easier for them to access the items.
