Bonus Summary

I feel like I have come so far in such a short amount of time. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to discover Web 2.0 in such a fun and creative way. Without a doubt, I know that Mesquite librarians work in the best district. The support that has been given to us by Mary and Debbie and the whole staff at Library Services has been incredible.

This being my first year, I am overwhelmed with all that a librarian actually does. I guess it's much like I felt my first year of teaching. I see that the role of the library and the librarian is changing rapidly. We have to keep up or be left behind. My only option is to keep up. I know that I will continue posting my learning to my blog. I love the idea of keeping an online journal to track my progress and see where I have been. What was life like before Flickr? It's hard to imagine now. My avatar reminds me of why I love being a girl and playing dress up. Myspace connects my professional and personal life. As controversial as that is, I love it. Although, I have to have a time limit or I lose track and get carried away. I know that as I learn more about the library and what my role truly is, I will go back to some of these tools I have discovered and use them. By using Web 2.0 tools in the library, I hope to encourage others to discover some of what the web has to offer.
