9.23 SUMMARY OF THOUGHTS

This project has been extremely useful for me. At first I thought I would know many of the 23 things and I did know a few, but my knowledge has been expanded much more than I expected. Just the other day I was doing a reference interview and one of the sites I discovered during this activity was perfect for what the patron was looking for. I think the most helpful thing was discovering that there are many ways to find information on the web other than through search engines such as Google and Ask. I think it would be beneficial for this project to have a supplement every 6 months. We learned about many cool things, but there are still many, many things yet to be created and we need to keep on top of them. I would like to see libraries implement this knowledge by encouraging librarians to think about ways to use these tools in public libraries. Thank you for the opportunity to participate!
