#23

I think this learning journey is just a beginning. Emeging technologies, including the one we have palyed, are vast and enormous and involve lifelong learning.

Having gone through 23 things, I just got the feeling of some of emerging technologies being used in some of the libraries.

The things that I leant from this journey: with blogs, wikis, podcasts and RSS, we can keep up and have an avenue to discuss things with colleages; we no longer need to depend on strictly regulated tools such as OPACs, AACR,LCSH. With new tools we need to learn skils such as how to register at a social software site, how to joing and cotribute to Blog(s), RSS, how to assess Open Source software, how to tweak template etc.

I am happy about playing with 23 things becuase, in the library, we need to try and assess many services to find what works for clients.

Yes, 23 things are useful and playful at the sametime they are time consuming.

I would like to joing in future discovery program like this.
