It’s been a conference whirlwind for me lately…in addition to Internet Librarian, I’ve also been at state conferences in MN & IL these last 3 weeks.
At each conference, I’ve heard about countless new ideas and technologies to explore. Needless to say, my notes listing things to follow up on are *long.* But, rather than feeling overwhelmed, I’m going to take the advice I’ve heard twice in the last two weeks (both in Minnesota & Monterey): do it for 10-15 minutes a day.
Helene mentioned during her presentation yesterday that she spends the last 15 minutes of her workday checking out new things she’s come across on the web. The folks I spoke with in Minnesota use this strategy to catch up on library blogs, find an answer to a problem using WebJunction, or they go through a portion of a self-paced online course.
So, here’s the beginning of my list of web sites to check out when I get back to my desk…check them out with me, or create a list of your own.
