Thing 30--my thoughts/overview

So, you want more thoughts--- Gosh, I am thankful that I had staff to help me with my assignments. Without them I would not have gotten through the program. I do not want to do another one again this year---Wwell not until next fall. I have put my evaluation goals on hold to do these assignments. My boss has given me some lengthy goals to accomplish. I've got to produce a quality product!

Thing 29--my experiences and observations

Well, to be honest with you , it has been a nerve-wracking experience in a lot of ways. I guess it came at a time when there was a lot going on here --new staff to train, schedules to do, filling in when some bug hit the staff, etc. As an older member of the library everything I saw
via web 2.0 was new!!! I did not know these things were there or that they could be easily created. I did have trouble establishing my first blog. I do believe the exposure to this technology was good. I only wish we had more time to spend on each Thing.

As to other people's blogs, I liked the ones with music and lots of pictures. i am a visual person. The most fun i had was with flickr. The pictures were so cool. I also liked signing on to the rss feeds. I wonder if I'll use these technologies again in my work.
I've learned about the more intellectual uses of myspace and facebook--- such as playing scrabble with a coworker or friend. I'd like to learn morebut at a slower pace.

Thing 25--library podcast

.
Expunging Your Record? What it Really Means! May 1st, 2006 Expunging Your Record? What it Really Means!, Presented by R. Konrad Moore, Deputy Public Defender, Kern County Office of the Public DefenderPodcast Date: May 31, 2006 14:30:00 This is from the Kern County Law Library in Ca.

This is an interesting workshop for the pro se customer. However, sometimes the dialogue skips. This is a good way to give an orientation to new customers to a library if you were to gear the podcast to a public library clientele. There maybe a way to get some interactive learning between customer and the podcast viewing.
