Thing #23

Is this the end or the beginning? It depends on how you look at it. It's been tough at times. The frustration of learning new things can be overwhelming when a person is very busy with work, family, and other obligations. Participating in 23 Things taught me that while not every thing I explored will be used, some will be used occasionally. The best thing about 23 Things is the realization that while learning new things can be challenging, you can learn, even if it takes time and help from friends and coworkers. So again, is this the end or the beginning? It's up to me to decide whether or not to be a lifelong learner. For me, it's the beginning!!!

Thing #22

I found several ebooks that would be interesting to download, but I agree with some fellow bloggers that it would be difficult to explain to patrons the ins and outs of licensing, how to download, renewals, etc. While some people would tremendously enjoy listening to an ebook, I personally like to just curl up with a good book in my hand. I'm kind of old school, but I also realize that for some people, ebooks are a great way to go.

Thing #21

Podcasts are not my thing. I had trouble from step one and had to have help. I did find one podcast on maggot medicine. Fascinating creatures. Did you know they breathe through their backside so they can bury their head in their work? I really don't think I found anything useful in the podcasts, but I'm sure others have found them useful.

Just another day at the library trying to keep the flies out of my hair(mane)

Thing #20

There are so many videos to watch on You Tube, but the video I chose is Batman: The Dark Knight. I chose a movie video because my son is a movie buff, and he can't wait to see this movie. I also viewed the library videos that were suggested. The first one was a little long, but I think it's a good way to promote the library if people will watch.

Thing #19

Well, Flickr is what I chose from the Award List and amazingly, I remembered how to add an image. This was fun and informative.
