Thing 8 conclusion

We use email to comunicate with staff at all the branches of our district and to inform patrons of their holds and overdue items. It's productive because it's quick and one doesn't need to waste paper. With IM, the communication is in real time and that could save alot of of problems with delays.
I am not a user of texting or IM, but I can see how it can be a very useful tool in today's world.
I have not experienced a Webinar except a recording of a Webinar to learn about Unique Management.

Importing Blog

An expert staff member (who wishes to remain A. Nonymous) helped me to clean up the confusing mess I made with the two blogs I had created. I am hoping to continue with the 23 Things (just finishing with Thing 8) and maybe even catch up, well, maybe not quite catch up, but at least stay in the running!
The unregistered blog was exported (saved on the desktop) and then imported into the registered blog (this one). I will then delete the unregistered blog since I will be posting all new stuff onto the registered one, this one--TDD123.

Thing 8

Webinars can be really useful for meetings and learning new stuff. Still, it's nice to be able to interact with people face to face, call me old-fashioned.

Thing 8

It's a bit sad that, on the one hand all this new technology has made our lives easier, and on the other, we need to use this same technology to connect with each other because we are more and more isolated and away from personal human contact and connection. I guess it's good to be able to communicate quickly with our families and co-workers, esp. since the shared family meal and close interaction with co-workers seem to be happening less and less.

Thing 7

This was easy to do. I can see how some of these tools can be really useful for many things in the library graphic dept.--flyers, posters, programs, etc. What fun!

Spell with Flickr

This simple use of Flikr was not too much fun. It required saving each image on the desktop and then uploading it into the blog post and then moving them around to fit--and they don't really fit very well. It must be because I don't know what to do or how to use the program efficiently. And how to apply this use for Libraries....? I guess there could be a useful application by someone who is adept at using this.
