One of the best parts was getting to know my colleagues better by reading their blogs, discovering common interests in cooking, art, and traveling, etc. I was struck by the creativity and professionalism I saw on some of the blogs posted by HEB librarians; I was also humbled by it. I discovered that you can learn a great deal from reading blogs. You Tube was another great surprise--I knew very, very little about it and had only seen a few of its films/photos. It is quite a mixed bag of modern culture.
If I were to offer a suggestion for improvement, I would allow a bit more time for participants to complete the program. It was tough to get everything finished by the due date, since some lessons were multi-faceted and took additional time. Also, perhaps a follow up class could be designed which would build on the 23 Things, but give us additional practice and make every assignment library-related.
Yes, I would definitely choose to participate again. I got a great deal out of the experience.

I'm afraid if we offered more than 4 months to complete the program, folks would forget about it!!!
ReplyDeleteAs for a followup, never fear....one is already in the works!!!
Thanks for taking the HEB23 journey and hopefully, you found something you can take forward and use in the library and on the campus!
