Thing 22

Like the title say it -Keep on Learning- I appreciate the help to explore and learn some of this tools. The way I recommend to keep up with what I have learned is to use it.

Thing 18

The survey sofware that I could undertand best was the (Surveymonkey web site) and is the one I used to sent my survey. Depending on the kind of survey one is sending or working on all of them a offer a variety of subjects to chose from.

Thing 13

I can see how setting an account of Library Thing can be useful to persons that enjoy reading a variety of subjets, create and view their collections.
I think Library Thing can work at MCPL and be share with others staff members that have same or different reading interest. Have their comments, reviews and share their view in a particular book or subject. And I did recognized some of Library Thing search users. Perhaps MCPL can use Library Thing to make a poll and find out how times a particular book is read or not. A reader advisor can use Library Thing to make suggestions or by recommending a good book.

Thing 10

What I have discovered on Thing 10 about Wiki is that allows to put thoughts and ideas in order and organized to whatever project one my be working on. Collecting, gathering info and editing documents.

Thing # 9

I use Google Docs.in this 9th things. I like it that I could learn to use the tools (colors and different letter form to edit this document). As to what would the Founding Fathers would think about this. Editing the document would have been easier for them. Or at least to express the correct words and give it the meaning that they wanted to get across to the people.

Thing #6

Interesting to me was to learn about the many tools of communications. I don't spend a lot of time at the computer except at work, so I can see how is could be a time drain (specially when there are lots of e-mail messages). I liked the section on e-mail productivity hints and e-mail etiquette and to understand the importance of e-mail policy and etiquette.
We at MCPL use some of this tools. E-mail to notify our patrons about overdue notices, hold, and inquires.
I have use text messaging but have no knowledge that we use it at MCPL to communicate with other libraries.
Web conferencing will be useful to deliver info to multiple learners in a class, lecture etc.
I believe some schools are using this tool of communication to teach others a foreign language.
Why not use CATS? How about it Phil? If you are not able to be present, you can give a class via web conferencing.

Thing 2 (continuation)

I have to admit that when I first learned about doing 23 things, I was a bit concern but it seems that I learn something new every time. By participating in 23 things I hope to be more knowledgeable about the many facet of this program. I hope not only to benefit from it but in the long run help our patrons and meet the changing needs of our library users. As I read more about Web 2.0 it empowers me to see the benefits and the need to change my attitude to be able to deal withthe changes of libraries of tomorrow.
What I'm looking foward in 23 things is to meet new discoveries with an open mind and share what I learn.
