IM At Your Public Library

Not so "I" if the one librarian on duty is busy.

IM and Libraries

I'm waiting to hear about the experiences of our first few months of IM Reference.

RSS Finders

All the finders probably work just fine. I don't seem to have the same interest as others.

RSS Feed are way too cool, Dudes and Dudettes.

Validity of Information on Blogs

I will gladly use Library 2.0 to link customers with information. I do have concerns about the quality of information that appears on many blogs. Much of it is opions, views, and feelings, without any facts to substantiate the valitdy of the posts. I believe most of our customers receive quality information now without the use of Library 2.0 systems.

Lifelong Learning

Although lifelong learning should be as esy as getting out of bed each morning, it does actually contain some stumbling blocks. Inertia is probably the biggest obstacle. It is much easier to proceed in the old manner than to try something new. Failure, or the perception of failure, is always a possiblilty. Hopefully, the desired result in leaning a new skill will be stong enough to overcome any perceived obstacles.
