Thing 18 would be ideal for students and people like myself , that have forgotten how th set up a spreadsheet. You could imput the data and don't have to spend alot of time setting up the sheet. This would be very time saving, when someone has a deadline. This would be a great tool for anyone that can use it. Having it on the library computers or having staff know how to find this would be a great help to some of our patrons.

I feel the best thing about Wiki , would be for book clubs. I feel they would have the most benifit from this service. They could review and post their discussions, which would inform others of how well the book was or not. I'm sure the program would not be limited to just book clubs, but that was the best usage I could find for it. I'm sure it would be much used in the community activities also.

I just read the Library 2.0 and while I agree with some of the findings, I don't agree with them all. For patrons that use the computer alot, this will be a big thing for them, but we have to realize that not all our patrons are that computer savy. We also need to realize that most of the patrons we serve, come into the library for the human contact the get from the staff. They can't get that from a computer. Our library does some of the things suggested in the story, but I feel that when you move away from personal contact with your patron, then they will quit using the library as often.

The best thing has been so far Good Reads. I found this to be the most fun and useful so far. I have put some funny quotes on my page and found I have read ,alot of books since I started working at the Library. I have many more to read, but I couldn't believe it, once I started listing the ones I have finished. I will use this site often.

If I get thru 23 Thing, I guess the only prize I could really use would be the mp3 player. I enjoy music and it would be great to have something that small to carry around. I don't know if I'll make it by the deadline, but we'll see

I just read an artical from The Independent newspaper about the polar ice cap dissappearing. It really worries me that as a society we have come to this state of extenction. I can't believe that humans, who are reported to be the smartest of the species, have allowed this to happen. WAKE UP PEOPLE. We are not going the have a home if we don't start doing something now to save Mother Earth. Change a light bulb, drive slower, we can all make adifference, we just need to start somewhere.

Thing #6

I can hear the hoofbeats in the snow, the snort of air from the muzzle and the bite of cold on a winter's day, as this wonderful animal is playin in the snow. I wish I could be on his back, flying through the snow spray.

This 5th thing has been the hardest so far. I'm still not sure if I got it right or not. I don't know how I can use it in my everyday contact with our patrons. Completely frustrated and confused.
