We really are in the information age. Sometimes the new Bing commercial reminds me of me! So much information and how do you organize it and make the best use of it AND choose which is best for you? This will help those of us in the library world here in Mesa Co.
I had already visited WebJunction and set up an account there so that I could look at the courses that they offer but today I looked more in depth at what was there. Under the Tech. button there are things for everyone from beginner computer users on up. I think that it would be a good place to brush up on skills that you don't use every day and therefore get a little rusty on how to use them. There is a patron training button under library services that will be useful in helping students learn to use the library as they go into college. Also there is legal info etc. I thought there was good info on this one site.
I also think I would use Library Successes Wiki. Here there is everything from reference sharing to technology in the library to education for staff within the library system. I like that you can share what has worked for you with others so they can try it out and implement it in their library and visa versa. Under navigation I found a random page! Ever the curious person I wondered what could be there .......you have to look for yourself! It was different info every time I looked.
I will be bookmarking this for later use. Thanks for putting these links together for us. Oh, if there is ever a move in our future I could use the job posting too! Don't think that will be happening any time soon.
