Finish

My favorite discoveries were LibraryThing and Google Documents. I'd already been using Bloglines, but the ability to get podcast notices was a nice plus.

Overall, the program has encouraged me to more readily accept new technologies as possibly useful not only for me as a librarian, but for my colleagues and patrons, and for me as an individual who enjoys learning new things (even 23 new things!).

I don't think I was surprised by any of my findings, though I didn't know LibraryThing had a 200-item limit unless one pays for membership.

The only aspect of the program that might have helped me would have been a longer time period (one thing per week, perhaps?), though that could have made it feel like the program dragged and was interminable.

Regardless of the parameters, I would definitely participate again if we offered other learning programs.

Thanks!
Chris
