I have mixed thoughts about geocaching. On the one hand I can't work up any enthousiam for it, but on the other I can see how we could use it - perhaps it just feels like the straw that broke the camels back.....
In a library context, I can envision scenarios where we could use geocaching in conjuntion with library events such as National Year of Reading and even Author talks etc to give these an added dimension. We also get a lot of travellers using the library for wireless and public PC access. If travellors are accross the whole geocashing experience this could be a "fun" way to engage with them.
Chicargo's finding history throughout the city did strike a cord however. Seems like there is great potential to utilise this in our Museums learning programs - or once again to engage visitors to the region to learn about the history of Mandurah.
The thought occurs that QR barcodes could be used for similar purposes or in conjunction......
