You know how sometimes you find a thing, but aren't sure exactly how to pass it on?
The Follett Digital Reader user guide is the perfect example. I could send this to einlibs, or post it in the ACLA wiki, or link it up on Facebook. I could probably put it in multiple places. But, I wonder, what's the best way to make sure we all know there's a user guide to those pesky Follett ebooks?

What are We Doing Here?
Flickr, Facebook, Twitter and a growing number of web sites and social tools are becoming increasingly important as a part of our customers' online (and in person!) experience. It is vital that the library staff is aware of these trends and feel confident in discussing them.
The Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh and the Allegheny County Library Association are partnering to bring you 23 Things, a series of short, weekly exercises designed to increase your familiarity with a variety of Web 2.0 tools, including RSS, blogs, social bookmarking and wikis. The self-paced exercises are designed to teach you the basics and allow you plenty of time to play around with what you’ve learned. Each exercise should take approximately one hour to complete. Participants will be able to access a 23 Things Web site to get updates, document their experiences, and see what others are doing.

Original 23Things
Helene Blowers, during her tenure at the Public Library at Charlotte Mecklenburg County, created the original 23Things. Libraries all over the world have followed her lead in this unique and dynamic program!
I have enjoyed the experience and hope that,in my personal computer use, I can incorporate some of the things I've learned. Although I have my MLS degree, my volunteer work as a charge-out clerk at Sewickley and serials catologer at Scott doesn't give me much opportunity to promote, to patrons, any of the 23 Things. When I can,though, I will.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
I just happened to be log into my blog (even though I haven't updated it since 23 Things), and saw that you added a new entry to your blog. I'm still probably a creature of habit and the one thing I do check very regularly is my library work e-mail account, and my facebook (that was created as a result of this exercise), but what would I need to be connected to on facebook to receive updates such as this? I suppose if I knew you were going to continue this blog as a means of communication updates, I would be sure to check it regularly. Have a great day! :-)
