#23 Is this really the end? Or just the beginning ...

The biggest discovery with this journey was that I was able to complete the entire program, and continued to be motivated to continue to the end. There were times when I thought who cares. I found that I cared enough and was curious enough to get through each week, and look forward to finding out what the next lesson would be. Even though I will probably not use these tools right away, I would like to find ways to incorporate them into my daily routine at work and into my personal life as well. I would love to become more organized be able to put my hands/cursor on information when I need it, without having to look for it each time.

I would love to take the time to go back to the beginning and start all over and create a new account and do each lesson over and not feel any pressure and have the time to explore in more detail.

I felt the team did an excellent job presenting and assisting. Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication.

One of my goals was to have fun and I really did. There would be times when we would get frustration, but there was always a good laugh with each lesson.

Yes I would participate in another discovery program. I am very curious and always feel a sense of accomplishment whenever I learn something.

Thank you again for all your hard work, this has been fun.

#22 Face-to-Face Space: Social Networking Communities

I chose not to create a MySpace account. I found it interesting, and I have heard our students talk about Facebook and MySpace and they use it a lot, I don't think this is something I would do unless I had a group of friends spread all over the country, then that would be a fun way to keep in touch. As far as the features I enjoyed or not, I couldn't really tell you since I don' t have an account.

I'm sure this could be used in a library setting, but my lack of imagination won't let my brain wrap around that concept. If our library would go that direction I would be willing to learn it and put it in to use.

#21 Podcasts, Shmodcasts!

I have decided that I'm not imaginative enough, nor so inclined to do searches that can be done in a timely manner. I've approached this like I shop. I feel like I have to look at everything then, get so confused and over loaded I lose interest.

However, I tried a library search and found a podcast for OPLIN, I did listen to it, but I couldn't really concentrate on what was being said. At least I am familiar with OPLIN. In case you are wondering OPLIN is a consortium of public libraries in Ohio.

One more week!!!!!!!!!!1

A Librarian's 2.0 Manifesto

This is an experiment.

#20 You too can YouTube

Basically I really couldn't find anything real spectacular when I was exploring, so I decided to search library 2.0. Other than than the video Jan made, by favorite was A Librarian's 2.0 Manifest. In a perfect world, this is what I think all of us would like our library philosophy to be.

#19 Discovering Web 2.0 tools

I liked backpack. I could use it for my personal life to make lists, work on a home project, etc. I looked through several other options trying to find something that could help me with my library work. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places or something, but I really haven't found anything that would be of help. I could use the list feature to make lists of the websites I use regularly.
