23 Things on a stick

Thing 1) Creating a blog. I have created this 23 Things on a stick blog.

So many people have asked me "why on a stick"? Well it could be our MN origins and a reference to the state fair, it could be the use of a "stick" or flash drive to transfer files from one computer to another, or it could be something else entirely. I suppose when I am further along, I may have more ideas to contribute to this discussion.

One of the things I learned in creating a blog, is that I had already signed up for a different blog, but forgot. I need to figure out how to move between the two blogs I participate in. The blog also has features I look forward to expanding upon.

It was almost impossible to create my avatar within the library, due to security and bandwidth issues, there are is a lot of the web that is locked down. This is an important consideration when we are creating pages for our patrons -- both to use within the library and from their work sites. Not everything we do may be accessible. In addition, we may inadvertently be restricting access to some of the tools our staff may need to do their jobs.

I see this tool could be a useful way to communicate with other staff and with our patrons.
