Lot's of people have been doing work on their blogs and getting through the 23 things. Well done everyone!!!

There are now only 13 sleeps for the chance for library staff to win great prizes if they finish all 23 things by Monday 1 October. Never fear though because library staff can still win a prize for finishing even after the training day on 1 October.

I'm back!!

Hi everyone its great to be back and catching up on all your blog postings. I was also pleased to see that some more people have finished the Library 2.0 training.

The training time is almost over and you have until 30 September to finish the 23 things and be in the draw for an ipod and other fabulous prizes.

These will be drawn at lunch time on the library training day on 1 October.

Jill will be organising some information sessions for those of you who have been a bit loathe to get into the swing of library 2.0. Watch out for details.

In the meantime have another go at the 23 things and as there are now several people who have finished you'll be able to get lots of advise from colleagues.

Back on the air waves

Not much action over the past few weeks. Remember that there isn't that much time left to get through the "23" things.

Libby has been posting some really interesting stuff while over the other side of the world - worth checking out.

And Karyn has updated her blog with more exciting news from PNG.

Looking forward to much progress over the next few weeks.........

It's been a while.......

It has been a few weeks since I last added a new post.
There have been a few updates from Karyn, who seems to have the library at Mt. Hagan well and truly under control !
And Peter has forged ahead on his quest into the great unknown.

I am having a break for a week, and hope to have lots of new blogs to read and little green squares to fill in on the "tally board" when I return.

Happy learning !!!!!!!!!!

Karyn has arrived safely, but..........

Our intrepid volunteer has arrived safe and sound BUT believe it or not there isn't any mobile or internet access where she is !!!!!!!

How will she survive I hear you ask - she did manage to get an email out via the volunteer organization in Port Moresby, so where there's a will there's a way.

The much publicized blog may be a non-event for a while as she will have to get to an Internet cafe "in town" before she can blog away.

More dispatches as they come through.

I need practice!!

Hi everyone.

I think I have this under some sort of control now, but I need some blogs to be added to so I can test my new found skills!

How about it?????

Rose crosses the line......

Quietly but surely Rose has finished the program. She has some fantastic blogs that make great reading, so have a look. http://www.daysofourlibraries.blogspot.com/

We have another person finished!!

ImageChef.com - Create custom images

Well done Libby who snuck under the radar to complete a number of 'things' in quick succession.
If you don't want to use your blog but have still been working through each of the 'things' to familiarise yourself with all that is the wonderful world of Library 2.0 then send me an email or post a comment to tell me which 'things' you have read and listened to and I'll add it to the spreadsheet.

We have a winner!!!!

In fact we three winners. Gillian, Simmone and Trevor. There was bit of competition going on with Gillian and Simmone as to who was going to beat Trevor but they all finished on the same day at around the same time. I could go to a photo finish but they all worked sooo hard yesterday that they all should get a reward.

Now the race is on for 4th place so keep on doing those 'things' and don't forget to tell me in you blog which # you have completed.

We almost have a winner!!

Trevor has only one thing to do, #22, yay!!! There will be a special surprise coming his way unless someone else can beat him to the post.

# 22 is about downloadable audio books, unfortunately the link is no longer in existence but you can still read and listen to what its all about...some of you may like to contact Sarah and talk to her about the research she's been doing on audiobooks online.

Don't forget to tell me in your blog post which 'thing' you have completed so that I can keep the spreadsheet up-to-date.

All is quiet on the Western Front


Things have been very quiet from all our Learning 2.0 participants. Training for Spydus 8 and getting organised for Library Week will be taking up everyone's time I suspect.


Once that is all over we'll get back into '23 Things'. A couple of people are nearly finished and there will be a prize for the first person to complete all the exercises.


Here is a link to the PNG tourism site with information about the place I'll be travelling to in early June, Mt Hagen



While I'm away someone else will be monitoring your progress and I hope to see something very soon from the branch librarians and the other managers blogs.
