T2 - Library 2.0 on Web 2.0

http://23thingsonastick.blogspot.com/2007/11/thing-2-library-20.html

We know time is always an issue--Stephen Abram shares some ideas on where to find the time for 23 Things. Where will you find the time? Not sure, but I do know that time seems to evaporate while I'm wondering around on the Web.

Why are you participating in 23 Things On a Stick? What do you hope to learn? All the stuff that's happened since I retired from computer support five years ago.

How has the Internet and the vast resource it can be affected your use of time at work and/or at home? Life without Google would be impossible.

What are you looking forward to in 23 Things On a Stick? I always like learning new things.

T3 - Ways to use RSS Feeds

http://23thingsonastick.blogspot.com/2007/11/thing-4-rss-newsreaders.html

There's a great link from the SELCO Librarian blog: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/14-other-ways-to-use-rss-feeds/

T2 - Social Software in Libraries by Meredith Farkas

This book will get you fired up about the possibilities of your library's site; just studying the URL's she references is inspiring. For example, see http://www.spl.org/default.asp?pageID=home.

Yes, compared to many libraries in Minnesota, the Seattle Public Library, is in another realm of libraries, but still, there are many ideas that a small library could implement. The initial setup of many of the services involves an investment in time and technical knowledge (which, lucky for us, we're learning with 23 Things on a Stick), but after that, they require little maintenance.

I'm having fun imagining harnessing all that information.

avatar

Oh, I forgot - when I'm on Yahoo, the avatar has hair. When it's on my blog, it doesn't. Quite an interesting effect on an avatar. I was going to ask for help, but I'm beginning to get attached to it. Always good to change one's viewpoint, now and then.

23 Things Team -
Amazing! There are posts from three of you. I think that it's incredible that you can do that with all the other stuff you do.
You're doing a great job getting me to try new stuff.

Do you have a Dr. Seuss poster in your office? (Thing 1 and Thing 2)
23 Thing Team - amazing! There are notes from you on my blog. You're doing a great job giving incentive to learn new stuff.


Do you feel a little like Dr. Seuss - Thing 1 and Thing 2?
