#23 and a half

This has been quite a journey! I truly did not expect to discover and learn so much. I feel rather "techno-savvy" right now although I can see it's an ongoing process. At the beginning, I thought,"Create a blog? Me??" Not growing up with computers, I had to struggle with some of these "things" but it was in the end really worth it. I definitely see me continuing to keep up with these and hopefully utilize them when educating and informing customers.
My favorite exercises involved the visual side of things. Flickr, YouTube, and the Generator Blog all appealed to me. (And please check out www.swivel.com ) Also, I had always thought I would have no use for reading blogs but when I discovered what's out there, it was amazing to me. There's some wonderful creativity out there and now I can view it and be inspired by it.
I also found myself thinking of ways to incorporate all this with librarianship. One thing that struck me is that so many librarians I meet have interesting backgrounds. We have diverse areas of study under our belt. I can imagine perhaps using this to the library's advantage by finding venues to share what we know. Maybe those knowledgeable on a topic could work together create area specific guides and have them posted.
What would I change about this program? Maybe a little more time would be nice. Also, initially, I did not get much validation at work for spending time on this (although my aclm was encouraging). I felt vaguely guilty about it ( I was the only one in my library working on it.) Perhaps if it was better promoted and endorsed, this would not have happened. I don't know.
Yes, I would definitely participate in another discovery program of this type. I am extremely grateful for the opportunity and the guidance. Thank you, QL Learning 2.0 Team!
