Thing 23: The End?

I have enjoyed going through "23 Things" and reading other people's blogs.

Of the 23 Things I found the following to be the most useful:

Wikis--I never thought of using a Wiki to create a policy manual,and I think it would be a good idea to create a policy manual in this way, rather than as a static word document.

Google Docs--Because I rarely use G-Mail to access my VCCS e-mail, I had never really explored the document sharing that can be done on Google Docs, nor had I been aware of the fact that you can create surveys on Google Docs.

Jing--I had heard about Jing, but hadn't looked at it before 23 Things. I can see how Jing can be used for bibliographic instruction. You can only do presentations of 5 minutes, but I'm thinking of using it to demonstrate how to search on various databases.

Creative Commons--with it's flexible copyright permissions, and its open courseware, Creative Commons is valuable for both librarians and faculty.

Delicious and Tagging--This is a wonderful way to get control of your bookmarks and sort your selected web sites in an organized way. It's also nice to not have your bookmarks tied to just one computer.

Social Cataloging--I enjoyed looking at Library Thing and creating an account on it. This is something I plan to access for my own personal use.

Thanks to everyone who shared their thoughts on their blogs!
