Vermont's 23 Things program

The program is great! I learned all kinds of new things to use on the Internet. The one thing I found frustrating about creating a blog was not knowing if anyone read it.

I enjoyed uploading photos in Flickr but would like to join more groups. RSS feeds are extremely useful and I will start using them to access changing events. I now subscribe to several for news and library information.

I now have an understanding of social networks but am not sure how much it will be used in a small library though I often see our teenage patrons using it.

I hope someday to set up a wiki for further library information. I know our patrons are now using Listen Up! Vermont to download audio books. As they become more aware of the wonderful tool the Internet can be, courses like Vermont's 23 Things help librarians to keep up with the latest technology and grow with the times.
