Favourite web sites

I have added some favourite pages I am beginning to develop, some of which might be useful on a library blog.

 I will put this up on de.liou.cous soon..! (When the kitten has grown  beyond chewing the laptop wire and the GCSE’s are over!)

Current Awareness

Health Management       www.tin.nhs.uk

Drugs                            http://www.drugscope.org.uk/library/librarysection/lib_results.asp?file=\wip\7\books.htm

Nursing   Current awareness blog                             bloomcab.blogspot.com

The information on this site seems reliable;but it is difficult to assess a splog from a blog when there is no proof of credentials and nothing about the author that can be checked! Then I realised I have no identification for me either!

Useful Software  

If anyone likes mind maps I have just downloaded this free software:

http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

I am trialling  epodcast creator on:

http://www.industrialaudiosoftware.com/products/epodcastcreator.html

However, I have not yet checked if there is useful free software that could be as easily used. The software offers  

Full podcast production- record, edit, upload your podcasts from a single program;

Easy Drag & Drop capacity to load music & sound effects into the recorder, editor, or hot button keys;

Quick single key access to 12 music and sound effects;

Full iTunes support for publishing to the most popular podcast directory of them all;

Complete editing studio to remove mistakes & professionally polish  sound;

I have to admit a basic recording is very easy and intutitive. It is meant to create RSS feeds for web sites as well.
