Libraries always been the answer place, but with all the Web 2.0 technologies out there now, do you sometimes feel like your patrons are passing you by? You can use the 23 things program to brush up on your Web 2.0 skills as well as learn how libraries are using these skills to reach out and engage patrons. So please join us in this life-long learning adventure! - CTLS Hope you guys are enjoying CTLS's 23 Things program so far. Again, here's the link to our 23 Things blog if you are just starting the program : http://ctls23things.wordpress.com/ Here are this week's activities: Week 2: Blogs and Avatars
3. Set up your own blog <http://ctls23things.wordpress.com/2008/11/05/3-grab-yourself-a-blog/> & add your first posts. 4. Learn about avatars <http://ctls23things.wordpress.com/2008/10/30/4-avatars-identity-and-pri vacy> and how you can add one to your blog. We encourage all of you to follow along with us during this 10-week program (9 weeks of things, and one week for wiggle room). If you're busy this week, don't worry! You can always start at a later date and catch up at any time before January 23, 2009. If you complete the program by January 23, 2009, you'll earn 12 hours of CE credit, and if you're staff at a CTLS member library, you'll also receive a free mp3 player or a $25 gift certificate (your choice) care of Friends of CTLS and the Tocker Foundation. Please forward this to any of your colleagues to see if they're interested in participating, too. If you have any questions, I'm here to answer them. Happy Thanksgiving!
