Thing 2.

Just finished watching Stephen Abram talking about Library 2.0 (after my tech librarian helped me figure out that my headphones didn't like the front jack on my computer, but would rather hide out in the jack on the back of the computer).
I agree with what he says about experience-based learning. I need the hands-on experience to feel comfortable and competent doing something new. I also know I am sometimes reluctant to "try" new things I don't know anything about, and need to prodded (shoved actually).
Initially I thought, "When am I going to find time for 23 Things?" But like anything else, as Stephen said, if something is important to us, we will make the time. I began exercising seriously over a year ago and "make" the time by exercising early mornings (when I would have normally stayed in bed awake), or on my noon hour (by skipping those heavy lunches that left me sluggish in the afternoon). Now I am alert and refreshed and ready to take on those 23 Things.

Thing 2. What is Library 2.0?

I just read John Blyberg's blog post and liked Sarah Houghton's comment in her definition of L2 "...to make the library a destination and not an afterthought." BUT--what do we keep, what do we change, and what new "things" do we need to be doing to make the library a destination for "all" ages?
WHAT do you want? What DO you want? What do YOU want? What do you WANT?
Tell me. I want to know.

Thing 2. What is Library 2.0?

Foiled again! Went to watch the Stephen Abram video. Nice picture, no sound, ...and I don't read lips. Time to talk to our technical services librarian so she can work her magic and bring audio to my listening ears.
