Read about Library 2.0 but didn't watch the video yet because I'm in the library and keep forgetting my headphones.  I don't have much of substance to add to the posts that are there.  I guess I'd like to shadow a librarian who is fully aware of 2.0 features and see how he/she operates and assists her patrons.  That would help me enormously since i learn best that way.  I'm afraid so far I only see patrons who are asking for basic stuff so I am comfortable with and happy with my responses as a librarian offering services so far but things will be changing.  23 things is making me happy because I can learn about things my sons have been using for a long time.

Also went ahead to thing 3 because I wanted to search blogs.  tried storytelling and the google search engine was far superior to technorati.  Found something useful. will go back to try again.

I will add some blogs of my co-workers to follow.

i'm about to expose my newbie status but my co-workers know this well so what the heck.  I am now in the Santa Fe New mexico public library using my husband's Macbook and on their WiFI.  First time, folks!  
I will try to get to Thing 2 because I worry about falling behind since I'm on vacation.  But I'm having a great time here so I'm not TOO sorry.

I'm on vacation in Santa Fe, NM. I wanted to continue with my 23 things but am frustrated by the lack of internet at the resort I'm staying at. Only a half hour a day on the lobby computers -- that's pathetic.

I did check out the public library and might use their computer tomorrow but have to put aside sight-seeing to do it.

Great to be able to watch the inauguration this morning.

HOpe it has warmed up in Florida.

Lots of people at the Branch trying this out. If 7 people get to at least five things we are doing a pizza party - a bit of motivation -- but I think that everyone being in the same boat has more to do with us proceeding with it than just the food.
It would be nice to find some blogs worth reading. So far I'm not impressed with the content of the ones I've tried out. But it's obvious when you open one who's blogged before.

As with alot of my co-workers I am trying out a blog for the 23 Things project. It will introduce me to some things I have never used before. I've even gotten a gmail account -- something my techie sons have been advocating for ever but I've been so fond of the yahoo mail that I started with that I never changed. We'll see if I switch over.

Off for a vacation on Thursday but I'll try to continue the 23 nevertheless. I've borrowed a laptop to try so that'll be something new as well. I'll see if the WiFI in the public library in the city I'm visiting will work for me.

Enough for now.
