step #23~the end

this time around i'm just going to fill in the answers cause i'm really not sure how else to do it. i hope that's not too boring...

wat waren je favoriete Dingen die je onderweg hebt leren kennen en gebruiken?

well i really like netvibes...i use it daily and really find it handy for keeping my web stuff organised. i also really like last.fm. i liked spelling with flickr for a bit of creative mindless fun and have used flickr to share photo's with family and friends.

wat heeft dit leerprogramma “gedaan” met jou en met de organisatie waar je werkt?

personally this learning program has really just helped me to get off my lazy butt and try the various things i had already read about and talked about or passively experienced. it has created the opportunity for me to take the time to actually do things i had just never gotten around to.

it has been really interesting to observe how people here have responded to having to do 23 things. at first there were a lot of negative murmurs and every once in a while there still are but there have also been quite postive conversations that have not only brought co-workers further in their journey towards library 2.0ification but also just plain closer as co-workers. it has been great to see people being more open to asking for help and trying to help eachother out. i have really seen that as a postive from this experience. and lets face it having done it we are all a step...or 23 steps closer to being able to lead the 2.0 pack. the majority of us are still sheep following along with the trends and that will always be i think. but we are now better equipped to help those following after us.

waren er dingen die je verrasten, als onverwacht resultaat van dit programma?

i think i was more suprised by the team building effect of the program then the actual contents of the program itself. it has just been so postive in that respect. i feel like we should do something else like this to keep it going.

wat kan er gedaan worden om 23 Dingen te verbeteren?

a more advanced option would be great for people who are already quite handy with web2.0 applications. there were often more advanced options that were seen as like " if you really like this then dig a bit deeper" but that's not quite what i mean. i mean like other programs and such so that when you know all about podcasts and social networks you can check something else out. is that clear at all?

En vul aan: “23 Dingen is voor mij …”

for me 23 things is a great learning tool that has the potential to help inspire librarians and being the libary to the next needed service level. but i think it is just the beginning. now it is time for us to try things out and incorperate what we experiment with into our libraries and see how we can better our selves and our services.

thanks management for the great chance for a bit of fun, team building and even learning!
