Today I decided to officially begin the "23 Things" learning challenge recommended by the State Librarian. We have until October 19th to complete the tasks. (The description and list can be found at http://our23things.infopeople.org/2007/04/our_23_things.php )
Number 1.
The InfoPeople educational offerings completed:
On May 9th I watched the webcast with Helen Blowers entitled "Web 2.0: What Library Managers Need to Know."
And on June 15th I attended Joe Barker's Fresno training entitled: "Web 2.0: Searching Innovations."
Number 2.
I set up this blog a while back, and
Number 3.
Today, as step 3, I signed into the "challenge" with InfoPeople.
I've completed three requirements; and I have 20 to go!
Although I've experimented with some other tools listed in the challenge, I'd like to write about them in the order listed on the InfoPeople site. I'm supposed to progress next to Flickr.
Just a note about our reference activity today: We had a productive meeting with the people from the San Luis Obispo County Genealogical Society regarding moving a portion of their collection into the SLO City branch in the Spring of 2008.

New Librarians Arriving July 17th!
SLO City's new Reference Librarian and the new Los Osos Branch Manager will begin on July 17th! We await their arrival and membership in our "family" of library employees.
The reference department is getting some timely help from the circulation staff. Two individuals have been assigned to assist us a few hours a week with filing ephemeral business/investment materials and newsletters, conducting obituary searches and preparing related correspondence, and updating our pathfinders and handouts such as the local listings of Internet cafes and Income Tax bookmarks. They will also help with the unrelenting labeling and replacement of U.S. telephone directories! And while they are in our area, they step in and assist with Internet logins when the desk is especially busy. We are very grateful to have their cheerful presence in our department, as well as their superb skills! Thank you to the circulation manager who agreed to spare them on occasion from circulation assignments.
And, our SLO City Library Manager has accepted the Assistant Library Director position for the County System. Congratulations!
Our reference department's online calendar is in a trial mode as of June 26th. [Note: The calendar has not been maintained since moving to another work location. 17 SEPT 2010]
