I really enjoyed this learning program! The hands-on self-discovery was fun and I learned a lot more about 'things' that I had heard about but never experienced on my own. I really appreciate knowing how to operate Flickr, as this is something I can use personally, sharing important events like weddings with my far-flung family. Library Thing was a lot of fun to play with, as was online productivity. Whether I use them personally or not, tagging and blogging and rss feeds have become standard means of communication in today's world, and my goal is to continue to learn and keep aware of new trends in technology. The online community has clout! And they are affecting and changing the way libraries serve their public.
In the future, I would like to see more in-depth classes for some of these 'things'. Sometimes I felt a little lost, alone in the great sea of cyberstuff :) I would love to gain more experience and confidence in the use of things like digital music, podcasting, and digital video. There's only so much I can figure out on my own, but time spent in a class or with other co-workers with more experience, would help me a lot. So please do continue to offer discovery programs like '23 things' -- this is just what we need to keep up with our patrons! And its a lot of fun. Thanks for offering this for us -- and thanks for the MP3 player!!
