Thing 22 - Staying Current

I've learned quite a bit during the past 21 Things. Some Things I will use everyday, some every so often, but others probably never again. But I don't feel like those Things that I didn't like as much were a waste of time. I'd like to hope that I will be able to pass along tools and tips along to patrons, coworkers, or friends. At the beginning of this, I had considered myself pretty knowledgeable when it came to the web, but I was wrong. I was surprised how many things I was missing out on. I am going to try and keep up with new things that will inevitably pop up on the web and pass it on. I'm definitely going to keep blogging; there's something almost therapeutic about it. I will probably make a new blog and really make it my own with all the new tools I've discovered. Our library district has already started incorporating many of the new tools which is awesome. We just launched a new website, and it really is amazing how great it looks and how many different things you can do on it. Everyone that I know who has been working along through these 23 Things has been very enthusiastic. It's great to know that others are excited about using these tools in our libraries and are willing to step out of their comfort zones and embrace Library 2.0. Like I said in my second post, the web is constantly changing and evolving, and Web 2.0 and Library 2.0 are not the end. My guess is we've already moved on to maybe Web 2.2. Let's keep it going!
