Hindsight is 20/20Well, that's it! 23 things. I never thought I would get them done.I learned it was more important to try them than to write about them. I let myself get away with a one sentance review and moved on. Although I went to very few sights new to me, I did gain something....the curiosty to see what else was out there. I have found that there are many tools on the web that we

And Beyond........Online tutorials for the Library? Bah you say, yes I say. I found this great site. It allows you to build online tutorials. You type a set of directions and then you can capture the appropriate screen to illustrate your point. They then host the website so that it can be accessed off site. We could send out online tutorials to patrons, we could teach eachother how to use

Thank you Phebe!I got the LibraryThing widget on the blog. Look in tools and highlight the HTML code for the widget. Then go to your blog and add a HTML widget. Title it whatever you would like and then paste the HTML code from Library thing in the bottom box. Voila!

#22 Galaxy Cruise Lines departsI have entered the very strange and all encompassing world of role playing. I'm not one who ever played dungeons and dragons and such. I am finding it a bit solitary, being a newbie. One person said something to me and by the time I IM'd back, they flew off. I am just trying to get my clothes to look half way decent right now....I hope to be able to interact

#21: Greeting from the Facebook Universe!I set myself up a Facebook account a while ago. I have taught over a dozen classes for it. I am a member of linkedin. Interesting that the two rarley overlap with connections.

#18 Tag, You're it!Funny how people have a hard time utilizing the subject heading in our catalog, but if we called them tags, they could jump right in. I understand it can't be done right now. But, I would love to see a section at the bottom of the item entry that was more a read-a-like suggestion tool. Weather we use it as patron recommendations "if you liked..." or their tags or just have

#17 YUUUMMMY Oops I mean Delicious!Tagging has become quite the lingo nowadays, huh? Interesting but a bit huge. Maybe we could have our own set of bookmarks we use personally and then share them with the rest of the staff. They could be both profession or personal, just a place to browse.

#16 continued:Quicky! Quicky! Wiki!I set up a VERY simple wiki for an outside project. Found the downside; too many people with too much access. I found that opinions are not a place to put wikis, because everyone's got one. I reverted back to my homegrown website, people can look, but can't touch. Interesting excercise

While I think the lessons we are learning here are valuable, I would like to learn something new. Something a little more cutting edge. Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, wikis, Second life; fun, but I'm not sure the best way for me, as a librarian, is to interact with patrons are through these sites. The Library, sure. We could set up a myriad of accounts for the Library. Push out the updates, the

#6 #7 Week 4: A Little out of Order....Ok, Maura, I'm a few weeks in. I'm having fun doing all these great exercises. I am learning some great ways to use technology that I have not ever thought about. But........I have to be honest. I am getting tired of creating new email addresses, ids and such. I have already created 4 new ones trying to keep things straight. GRRRR. Flikr wants yet

#8 TRUE CONFESSIONS: Week 5Okay, deep down, I am a Apple baby. I have been using PCs for 99% of my adult life but I will never be able to say I like them better than an Apple. Way back when, in fifth grade, we were exposed to computers for the first time. I believe it was called an Apple II. We played Swashbuckler, Oregon Trail, Frogger and such. I learned how to format paragraphs and spell

I uploaded the app to my phone and am now being inundated with updates of people that I know, people who I share an interest and a few funny animal lovers.

Talk about reinventing the wheel! Take a look in Public Libraries January February 2009 issue, page 29, "What are You Doing Now?" One library got a dedicated Blackberry with unlimited text for patron IM.....Twitters for events for the day....FriendFeed to push....take a look.I really think our next jump should be to mobile devices. Let the emails keep going but find a truncated way to reach

Week 3 of 23In the process of finding a app that would do all the pushing I found a great RSS feed with tech updates that hit it on the money. It is one of their top stories today. It is called "cloud Computing..." It is worth a read.

Day 2: Just my 2 cents....I have this friend. We are both about the same age but in very different lines of work. It turns out that many of the tools we are learning here, she already is an old hand at, so I picked her brain yesterday.Part of her job entails keeping up with the latest 2.0 tools and letting her colleagues know not only how to use them but how they should be used.
