Using Web 2.0 tools.Email. This is how we recieve many of our reference questions, along with telephone calls and people dropping into the library office. The limitation with email is that the librarian then has to call or email with any follow-up questions that are a normal part of the reference interview.IM. Interesting article by Aaron Schmidt and Michael Stephens. Personally I enjoy IM

I tried out the trading card. It was so much easier than I expected.This may be fun for a national library week promotion. I also liked the Hockneyizer, but have a lack of photos on my work computer to play around with.

I'm not sure how useful mash-ups are to my library. I guess using Flickr for image searching may be helpful, but I don't create that many handouts. It was a fun exercise to see what is out there, and to spend some time palying with the different tools.

A photo from Flickr by jhurrah "Prague Castle and Church of St Nicholas by night July 2006."I'm not sure if Flickr would be a useful tool in my library. Possibly to take photos of our space to have on our Library section of the Intranet for our company, or to share new titles, like the CSB & SJU Flickr accounts. I especially enjoyed SJU's READ posters with their staff. I have not really used

Done! I already subscribe to a few too many feeds with Google Reader. I will have to check out some of the MINITEX blogs.

In my opinion, Library 2.0 is all about change. The tools we use and the jobs we do are morphing and the library needs to be flexible in adapting to the new changes ahead.

I admit, this is not my first blog. I have been blogging for about 2 years now, just for friends and family. I was excited to see that a second round of 23 Things was starting, because I have not had a chance to try out some of the other 2.0 tools like Flikr or twitter. I hope to learn more about some of these tools and discover new things that I've never heard of.
