The End

Well here I am at the end of my 23 Things!!! I had every intention of doing a thing or two each week, but the reality was quite different as I have crammed most of them into the last couple of weeks.

This has been a really, really good experience for me. I'm not sure exactly when it was, but at some point in the last year I had the feeling that I wasn't quite keeping up with technology. Not a good feeling for a librarian! This was the very first time I had ever felt that way -- and my library 'career' goes back to grade two at my Catholic elementary school helping the nuns with library chores and the juniorhigh boys (swoon) with research. Coupled with an overwhelming lack of time, I wasn't sure exactly how to catch up. I kept thinking that it was just a matter of finding the time. Of course, 'finding' more time is just wishful thinking. I needed to make it a priority, and doing this program made it happen. (Okay, Kathleen's strong-arm tactics provided some not-so-gentle guidance as well.)

I know there are plenty of 'things' I will go back to, and others that I just won't. Of course we have to pick and choose. To me, Library 2.0 is all about the themes of sharing, collaboration, and fluidity.

And yes, I would absolutely do another program like this!
