More 23 things on a stick

It looks like it's a bust this time around but I will keep trying when my foot heals from surgery.

We thought we had problems finding books

2009-03-19T13:38:00.001-07:00

This is every library's nightmare. I don't feel so bad about the books we can't find.

Thing 27 Twitter

2009-03-18T13:39:00.000-07:00

My Twitter user name is Librarylifer. I'm not sure how Twitter will fit into my life. I can see how people can get addicted to the net. I can see ways to use it in the library. It would be fun to have a Twitter group for Teen activities and Teen authors. It might be a way to connect with kids who might have never come into the library thinking that there was nothing here for them.

Thing 26

I joined the 23 Thing on a Stick Ning. I didn't do round one so I just joined during round 2. I added some friends who did round one and started a Library Knitting Group as on of my things. I realize that this is mostly for librarians but it would be nice to have a Circulation Supervisors Group or even just a Circ Group. I think it would help alot as we look for ways to give quality service during budget and staffing cuts.

Here is my Typealyzer profile

ESTP - The Doers
The active and playful type. They are especially attuned to people and things around them and often full of energy, talking, joking and engaging in physical out-door activities.

The Doers are happiest with action-filled work which craves their full attention and focus. They might be very impulsive and more keen on starting something new than following it through. They might have a problem with sitting still or remaining inactive for any period of time.

Super Heros

2009-03-13T13:23:00.000-07:00

Here is my super hero. I'm always disappointed in the choices they have for accessories. This one had a shopping bag and a twig, never knitting needles.

You tube

2009-03-12T13:42:00.000-07:00

I figured out how to put a You Tube video on my blog with the help of my friend Floating Lush.

Thing 25 Google gadgets

2009-03-02T13:48:00.001-08:00

I found some fun gadgets on Google gadgets. I typed in knitting and found a widget for new knitting books for my knitting blog and then I tried Mysteries and found a widget for new mystery books for my library blog. What fun! I also finally figured out how to copy and paste an aquarium on blog. These things may seem small but for a non-techie it's a great discovery.

I did it! Finally.

South Park Avatar

Here is my South Park avatar. It was kind of fun to make and has lots of different styles to pick from. Avatar two.

Yahoo Avatars

2009-02-13T12:56:00.001-08:00

Here is my Yahoo avatar. I didn't think the selection was that great. They never have knitting needles or hockey stick to add to the pictures.

Changes

2009-02-09T12:59:00.000-08:00

I decided that Van Gogh was too much so I switched to Georgia O'Keeffe. I like her flowers.
I admit that I started this because this is a problem area for me. I would like to thank Librarian DOA for her help and patience with my end less questions.

Thing 24

Thing 24 talks about adding gadgets to your blog. I decided to try the Georgia O'Keeffe. I have tried gadgets for my other blog but had a hard time getting the weather gadget to show where I lived. It kept reverting to some place sunny and warm which is not how I would describe MN in the winter.
I started a blog about my knitting life and learned how to do Library Thing to catalog my knitting books. This blog I started for my library life and 23 Things. I used Shelfari to display non-knitting books that I read. It's been fun and frustrating. I have been reading the blogs of the librarians who did 23 Things on a stick last year and found it fun to follow along. Librarian DOA, Floating Lush, Carol with her nose in a book and Cheery Lane. Since they are seasoned veterans I'm hopping they will help me out when I get stuck.

More 23 things on a stick

Even though I didn't do the original 23 things on a stick I want to give it a try this time.
I already know how to set up a blog, add RSS feeds, and add gadgets.
It will be fun to see where this takes me.
