The End

Surprisingly I really enjoyed the 23 things assignment. I learned about a lot of programs, sites and apps that I normally would never have used or heard of elsewhere. Many of these tools I plan on using often because of their quality, effectiveness and creativity. Some of my favorite topics that were covered are flickr, LibraryThing, Librivox, Zotero and Diigo. Before I began the 23 things there were a few things on the list that I had already completed on my own, so I didn't think I would learn much more about them. Instead, I was surprised to find that there was a lot about these topics that I definitely did not use before. By increasing my knowledge about these topics I can now use the various tools much more efficiently. For example, I use Google on a daily basis but I hadn't tried out many of the tools that Google has created. Before I learned what Technorati is I had no idea that you could search blogs. Overall, I enjoyed the 23 things assignment. After completing all 23 things I feel that I am better equipped to deal with the evolution of libraries, media, technology and the web. I am looking forward to applying many of the tools we learned about to my everyday life and career as a librarian.
