Week #5 Social Networking 2

This lesson was not what I thought it was going to be, Facebook is very interesting and different then the social network that I already belong to. "Stumbleupon". This one is much more social and seems to have more to play with and enjoy.

I just took a break from this and found my husband watching a movie called "I, Robot". The robots looked something like these guys I found, sort of eerie don't you think? They initially made me think of all the people on the net like non-descriptive people.

Week #5 Social Networking 1

I really like the idea of using a social network in conjunction with the library, but in reality I don't think it would be possible. With a small library most of our service right now is face-to-face. We just don't have the time to sit at a computer and dealing with the incoming questions, besides helping those who walk in the door.

Then again, if things are moving in that direction, we would really be doing a disservice to ourselves if we didn't try to reach those few people who may need the service on line. We may make some new connections that we would have never made before, and they may keep us open serving more people in a more varied way in the long run. It's one of those situations where you may never know how it will affect you. I like to try and keep our options open.

With the introduction of our new web site, I will consider using some sort of social network, after I have considered how it will effect the library staff and the time it takes to implement, maintain, and respond to it.

Week #4 Reflections

As I look back on this whole experience, Project Play that is, I am starting to feel my age. Not in my bones or muscles but in the way my life relates to others around me. I have a disjointed feeling of how things are passing me by, as if I were in slow motion. Well, I am not going to let that stop or deter me from my goal to understand, learn, and do more in this fast paced society. I am thoroughly loving the challenge, and am looking forward to every lesson I can learn. TADA!!!

Week #3 Remember the Milk/Jott

Well, now this was an interesting experience. I have always thought I should have a secretary, well now I can have one for free. LOL I feel like I have gone into a whole new phase of my life ever lesson that I go through takes me one more step into the TWILIGHT ZONE! Things may not be what they seem and seem what they may. I think that I can email myself a 'to do' list of things needing attention by me or someone else. Now the true test will be how long will this task of creating a list take? Will it take so much time that it won't be efficient enough for me?

Now calling on a cell phone, that might be the perfect solution for the time element of this situation. I can see myself doing this, but not at work. I probably will still use pencil and paper. Oh, well!!!! Or maybe not..............
