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.
