Summarizing Things read or watched in Thing 5:
- A Librarians 2.0 Manifesto- This video basically outlined the mind set that we should have toward the changes that come along with Web 2.0. Think positively about them and try them even if your current system seems to work fine, try it the Web 2.0 way.
-Library Journal.com - on Library 2.0 - Service for the next Generation- Explains how library customers will benefit from Library 2.0. By excepting and implementing the use of web 2.0 we will be able to service our customers in the way they choose to be served. It says that Library 2.0 is any service that successfully reaches users, is evaluated frequently and uses it's customers input. It talks about the "long tail" which in summary is a higher percentage of people desire to see or read things that are not "hits"
THAT'S ABOUT ALL I GOT.

Thing 3
Well, I think this is the first thing I'm supposed to blog about so here goes:
Out of the 7 and 1/2 things this would be the order in which these are EASIEST for me:
1. Begin with the end in mind.
2. Teach and Mentor others.
3. View problems as challenges.
4. Have confidence in myself as a competent effective leader
5. Use technology to your advantage.
6. Create your own learning toolbox.
7. Accept responsiblity for my own learning
1/2. PLAY!!!!
Why? Because 1. I am always in a rush so being able to visualize the end is easy for me to do. 2. I love to talk and sound like I know what I'm talking about so teaching is a snap. 3. I don't quite agree with #3, the problem is not a challenge - finding the solution is, anywho, I will leave it where it is. 4. Having confidence in myself is not one of my strong points but totally supersedes 5. using technolgy and 6. creating my own learning toolbox because I tend to spend a lot of time on my projects solely because I don't prepare for it and tend to not use the technology available but I'm just the kind of person that would rather write than type. Lastly, 7. accepting responsibilty is always difficult because it is so much easier on my mind if I can blame an innocent passerby and what they don't know won't hurt them right. :0)
