KCLS 27 Things Reflection

Looking back on the 27 things I realize that they have encouraged me to jump into making online accounts with a little more ease. Especially with social networking sites, before, even if I was curious I would not make an account just beacause I was too lazy ;) . So I am very happy to be more adventourous in making online accounts. In terms of goals though, I don't think it has really changed anything much for me. I will try to keep abreast of web 2.0 and other social networking crazes just to know what the youngins are getting into. And I've also decided to get more into second life as well. Actually though the activity that I enjoyed the most from the 27 things was learning about RSS feeds. They are really fun and informative. One thing that suprised me was that some libraries were building virtual libraries in Second Life and spending money to purchase virtual land. I never really needed any help when I was doing the 27 things, though I ended up helping some co workers out ;) . If you do this again, I would love to go more in depth into the online communities as sort of an KCLS staff group project to help promote the need of libraries to the public (especially on Second Life). I would love to see more training opportunities like these emerge, especially if we can do them while we are at work, and especially if there is some sort of reward for finishing all the tasks.
