As part of my internship with the St. Johns County Public Library System, I am participating in the 23 Things* program sponsored by NEFLIN. I am familiar with many of the Things, thanks to my Master's program at the Florida State University, but there are areas where I can expand my knowledge and put into practice Things I've learned.
In addition to building my Web 2.0 portfolio and honing my skills, I hope to assist others within the SJCPLS with guidance through this self-paced, self-discovery learning experience. It's going to be interesting to see how staff put these new tools, these Things, to use within libraries.
*The 23 Things @ NEFLIN Program is a modification of the Learning 2.0 Program designed by Helene Blowers, Technology Director, Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County and replicated by more the 250 libraries worldwide.

I, too, was once a SJCPLS intern when I was finishing my final semester at FSU in the spring of 2003! I had a great time...my internship supervisor was Valerie Peischel, then Youth Services Coordinator and Hastings Branch Manager, and now Main Branch Manager. I hope you enjoy your experience! :)
ReplyDeleteIt seems that the "new wave librarian" is very 2.0 friendly. I worry that there is an infrastructure that I haven't quite grasped because I find that at times I can't see the purpose of some of the applications. It will be important for us to hear your take on things like RSS feeds to patrons of out catalog additions....enlighten me please!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great attitude - eager to help others - you made a great career choice!
