thing 23 / evaluate the things!

Many of the 'things' I was already familiar with when I started this project, but as I've worked through them I've definitely learned a lot. I knew about RSS readers but since I completed #3 I've been using google reader non-stop! It's just so convenient. I've also started to use LibraryThing to keep track of the books I'm reading. I haven't really used the reviews feature yet, but maybe in the future. I'm excited to start using Drupal to edit the Circ Lint page. I also plan to keep using WebJunction for online classes.

Overall I think the 23 things project was a great way to introduce employees to new technology, especially people who don't have a lot of tech experience.

Thing 22 - Keep on Learning

I decided to keep using Library Thing to keep track of the books I read. So far I've done pretty well! It's nice to be able to look back and remember what you've read recently. I also have a Webinar class I really need to finish on the Crew Method for Weeding.

I didn't really add any of the professional Library blogs to my rss reader. Simply because I am not a librarian. But every now and then when I have some extra time, in drive up for example, I head back to the 23 things page on lint and browse for new, interesting library info.
