Third post

The reason why I think assembeling a tool box will be difficult is that it is easy to say I need books that will teach me spanish. But it is difficult to determine the right books to get or the right computer program. I am thinking rosetta stone. I guess setting time aside might be considered a tool, or meeting bilingual people or maybe going to bi lingual places such as Miami or South Beach.
I think blogging can be used in many ways at libraries. But I think two important ways that blogging could be used is to set examples for patrons or employees, or to provide patrons or employees with easy acess to instructions and information on current events. For instance a blog could be extablished by a ficticious patron, Robby the reader, and he could discuss in his blog how he found books he liked, how he checked them out, which ones he thought he might have liked or his friends might have liked. He could discuss some of the events he attended or was planning t attend and his hopes for the future development of the library.

7 and 1/2 habbits

Right now I feel that the Seven and a Half Habbits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners might be a good way to help me learn to speak spanish fluently. I italicised speak spanish fluently because it has been my goal foar a while but I have not really done much about it for atleast three years now.
I think the most difficult part will be to assemble a box of tools or habbit five

The first entry 17 May 2008

Today I have created this first entry as part of my "23 Things" training program. I can not think of much to say here and now. Most notably I can think that I have just come from working at the reference desk for about 40 munits and I was trying to multi task out there. I think it did not work out so well. I was trying to tape paper backs while work the desk. I think Labeling paperbacks at the desk is fine but taping them out there is probably not a good idea.

Before I end this I am going to include the link to the article that started 23 things which is this: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0FWE/is_2_10/ai_n16133338
