The end?

Reflecting on the 23 things, I can see a lot of uses for many of the neat tools we've been playing with. I do struggle with the balance of adding some communication tools, providing one more thing for staff to need to check...and am proceding with caution in light of our workforce planning taskforce's discovery of just how much time we spend each day in electronic communication.

That said, there are tools that do build efficiencies in here...and particularly for work groups who aren't working close together on a daily basis (particularly homework help center coordinators).

I do think that the 23 things has helped all of us learn better how to share the uses of Web 2.0 tools with our customers, who very much want to learn how to use them. In this respect, this has been an invaluable experience for all of us...and it certainly was fun!

I know I will keep up with twitter and facebook on my own...and librarything has been a very useful professional tool. I have appreciated the opportunity to learn & play!

MOLDI by any other name...

I admit I've not been using MOLDI in spite of my addiction to audio books. This is largely because I'm an IPOD user...I am very happy that this is no longer going to be an impediment soon!

While I am excited for the opportunity to become a MOLDI user, I have to say...while I can find what I want on MOLDI, I typically know what I'm looking for. MOLDI is not a very browsable site. In particular, whoever is deciding what is "children's" and what is "teen" may be throwing darts at a wall. Teen is a useless section to browse, with only 22 titles...and with Breaking Dawn in children's. Either put them together or separate them properly, I say!

Could the good folks at aqua browser do something with the MOLDI interface, I wonder?
