23 Things: Microblogging
I have used Twitter for awhile as an announcement board. It is easy to do, but I'm not sure how effective it is as we don't have many followers. I started to follow a couple of Kansas Librarians from the list and Lance Armstrong. I wanted to see how other librarians are using it and I am interested in Armstrong's comeback in the biking world.

It is an easy way to stay in touch, but again not sure how to really get the most out of it by getting folks to follow this.

Week 6: Delicious
I used Delcious in my previous life as high school librarian and it was a life saver. I could share websites with students easily. I am now using it also with Tech College students and instructors. It not only organizes the sites, but makes it so easy for teachers to add new sites as they find them for students to use.

23 Things: Week 5
I used Google Reader to add RSS feeds. I chose this because I like keeping the items within the Google site.
I did a Google search for RRS feeds and found a feed that talks about Library Grants from Enoch Pratt Library and then also subscribed to a travel one for Australia. HOpe to get there one day.

This is a test post from flickr, a fancy photo sharing thing.

23 Things Week 3:
I "attended" Technology Essentials and was especially interested in the Grant portion of this. It was hosted by WebJunction. I was pleased with being able to do this on my time and not have to spend a couple of hours with drive time to attend.

I do miss face to face opportunities, but think that will improve with more video meetings. As technology improves, this will probably become a more valuable resource and way to learn about new things.

Week two:
I choose Facebook. I have used it to stay in touch with friends and share pictures. Currently, I don't think I'll use it much for the library setting. We don't have enough follwers.
