What did I learnt

check on the progress ofdevelopment in social

networking tools by libraries.

concurrent sessions were usefulas they focused on practicalexperiences of Australianlibrarians in their journey ofexploring new technologies

so that others can learn fromtheir experience and comparetheir developments in this area.

Singapore libraries shouldalso share their initiatives onthe efforts to make libraries abetter and more relevantspace for users in the virtualworld.
