Week 10: #23 Is this really the end? Or just the beginning...

I have enjoyed 23 things. I especially enjoyed learning more about Flickr, YouTube and Library Elf. The benefit to learning about these different technologies in a self paced program is that we can spend whatever amount of time we want to on each "thing." I found some of the technologies very interesting and will definitely spend more time discovering more about them. On the other hand, some of the 23 things didn't interest me so I'll feel comfortable passing on them.

I appreciated the opportunity to earn some training hours without having to travel. I do think that everyone should be given 10 hours of training, regardless of how many hours they had prior to this program. That's the fair thing to do - after all, we all worked the same out of time! Thanks again for the opportunity and thanks to the hard working staff that had to read ALL of these blogs. What a job that must have been!!!! You should have your training earned for the next five years!

Week 9: #22 Downloadable Media

I enjoyed this exercise. I had not checked out overdrive so that was interesting. I was surprised how many titles HCPL had available and impressed with the collection. I checked out Wowio also. I actually was not as impressed with it as HCPL's overdrive. Wowio's collection seemed to be more dated. I definitely will be checking out some titles from overdrive in the future.
