#23-The beginning

I have enjoyed this experience and am learning alot. I intend to go beyond the 23 things as well as go back and spend time on some of the areas that most challenged me.
Hopefully I can use alot of what I've learned and apply it to my work in the grant center. I have so many ideas and thoughts on applying this to my work. Network days will be coming up very soon and Library 2.0 is going to be covered in a session. Looking forward with confidence to participating in that session.
There have been many exercises that I've really enjoyed and most have been quite challenging. At first, to be honest, I was very nervous, afraid of making a mistake or doing something stupid. Happily, I got over that and looked forward to trying new things. Also, I feel somewhat lacking in that my offerings are not as nice, as imaginative as some others. Everything I've done has been new to me so I have to let that go.
One added plus for me has been that I've acquired a digital camera. My son has a new one with all of the bells and whistles. He left this one at home for me right on the computer desk. It's been sitting here for a good year. I've started to use it. Wouldn't have, had it not been for this experience.
This goes hand in hand with my Flickr experience. I enjoyed the Flickr thing. Caught on to that a little easier than some other exercises.
I think I will really use the RSS feeds. There are several news websites that I like to look at and this is a real time saver.
The wiki thing is something that I really see myself using in my work life. Hopefully cooperating collection supervisors will be able to take advantage of this and share information.
I look forward to participating in any discovery programs the library would sponsor.
