23 Summarize your thoughts

YAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I finished!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am very pleased that I did and I learned a lot of new stuff! Some thoughts:
I feel proud of the appearance and graphics on my blog-though apparently no body reads it :(
The exercises took a LOT longer than I expected. Like everything on the Web, you stay on longer because you see unrelated interesting things that veer you in another direction. I now have a better idea of so many other things on the Internet that patrons are doing on PCs other than games and Google.
A suggestion for future...
I think many of us found that the most difficult thing was trying to keep track of our log ins, user names, passwords, etc. and keep them in order. I did not do a very good job of it, just printing out reams of paper, directions, writing on pages, etc. Maybe furnish a heads up "cheat sheet" of websites and internet resources that staff are goint to go to with blank spaces for staff to record their user names and password informaiton would be helpful. I would NOT have finished (without cussing to myself even more) without help from coworkers.
I would have given staff to the end of May to complete. I would likely participate in future programs. Even Luddites evolve!
Thanks Carolyn, Virginina, et al.

Congratulations on finishing! I have been following your blog thanks to the wonders of RSS, and do agree...you are now one techno savvy Luddite.

Just because we don't comment, doesn't mean we don't read it. I have been following your blog too, and have enjoyed your postings. Librarians are a quiet folk, and just lurk in the background reading and absorbing posts.
