thing 23 - completion - YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
23 things was an exposure to the tech. world of many options to make one's life easier.
The blog is an interesting concept for expressing one's ideas and an exchange of thoughts. This is great if one has the time. It was good to learn about the sites, more search engines, youtube, podcasts, and audiobooks. Maybe some day I'll be able to spend more TIME on what I have learned or have been exposed to.
If offered another discovery program in the future, I would NOT participate based on the "unwritten rules" imposed on staff. Staff and I were led to believe that it was an exercise to "try" (completion was optional) despite my stating that I'm strapped for time as it is (stated on my contract). No adult service staff nor adminstration staff (except Cari )know how busy Central children's staff can be. Fitting in such a discovery training program was difficult to complete during work time. It could not be done at the Info. Desk because of the busy public service commitment/ priority. 3.5 hours left after 4 hours on the desk leaves time for in-hour/out-hour programming, program preparation, committee mtgs, projects, and other library obligations not mentioned on the job description. The timing of the program was at our busy time of year as well.
Because of the HELP and the DESK COVERAGE from my co-workers, I would not have completed this training.
I thank each and every one of central children's staff: ep, jl, th, jj, ms, so, ss, and bl. Each have been so helpful and understanding.
I wish that I could say this was a del.icio.us experience but it put a bad taste in my mouth. Perhaps if this discovery training program were offered in more digestible portions, I would have enjoyed it more.

thing 16
libraries can learn by using subject guides where they can learn from patrons what they want and need, information can be adjusted/changed, and patrons can have their say for suggestions, ideas, proposals for community. good for posting vital info
thing 15
hcl is on the right track preparing for the non-circ material via computers. scary that the news says that we have fewer readers in the young generation. with children and storytime, we will perpetuate the love of books for the future.
it is obvious that the young generation is geared into the new tech. world. hcl will be on top to help them with our computers and info tech.
