Filed under: 23 Things
I know that the Thing #23 is to write about the total 23 Things experience.
I have some time today–so I’ll start and then decide whether to paste this into Thing #23 or just start over.
Many of the sites give very little information about how to use the application. This has been indicated in many of my Posts.
How useful are these sites to me? The only one I think I will use on a regular basis is the Bloglines account, although I will modify it to fit things I’m really interested in looking at regularly. This would also be a useful application to tell patrons about.
I will probably be able to finish the 23 Things in time to get the prize. It was frustating that there wasn’t anyone who had already done the program to give us some idea of how much time the process should take. I supervise 4 librarians who wanted to do the program, but I had no idea how much off-desk time to give them. (I had to take most of their desk hours so they could work on 23 Things.)
Personally, I thought the anonymity of the 23 Things email was unnecessary. I did get answers to the questions I asked, but why couldn’t I just ask someone when I saw them. (Yes, I understand that we were to get help from each other, but it’s contrary to the library environment to get information from an unknown source.) There were probably reasons that we aren’t being told about…
There were errors in the text. Again, these were changed when I asked about them. But a trial of the site by a few staff BEFORE it was put out for all would have eliminated these.
