  • But the obvious thing to do was to evolve the potential of this very stable listserv in a number of social media ways. While I am not sure which of these will be the favourites, the idea looks something like this: share a link on the listserv and store it for easy retrieval any time in the Diigo group! share your library images in Flickr, because we need to collect the ideas from around Australia Like us on Facebook – and include us in your News Feed.
