Reflections...

I really enjoyed the general idea of the web 2.o training. I think my favorite discoveries or exercises on this learning journey have been delicious, myspace, flickr, blogging, and the music networks. Although I knew about many of the topics I haven't had the opportunity to try them out until now.

I think that it would have been nice to have a little more flexibility with the schedule. Some weeks it was very easy to fit in time to complete the tasks, others not so easy. While it was nice that it was okay to catch up on a week the next week, occasionally it would have been nice to have been able to go more at my own speed and go quicker when able to.

I think the biggest challenge was just finding/making the time to complete the lessons. While I understand that SIL was approving us for the time to work on this, many of us still had to complete the same duties as normal alongside with these additional duties, which proves to be difficult.

If given the opportunity to participate in another discovery program like this in the future, I would choose to participate. I think that this is a good idea, as we are seeing more and more of our patrons coming into the library with questions re: things that we are unfamiliar with. Even if we don't use these things ourselves.
