Summary

I want to first say that I consider this to be the least amount I should know on these subjects. I am really appreciative of the opportunity to learn. I could never have found all of this on my own. Only our fearless leader knows how much work and thought went into formulating this program and pulling it off with great success.
The most unique thing I found is "Libraries in the News" hiding on WebJunction. It is updated weekly. Library Success is a Wiki I found directly because of this learning opportunity. This wiki will be on my list of favorites to continuously learn.
When you look at the Roselle Library website, so much has been added gradually, that sometimes we forget how much is really on there. Compared to any other library, Roselle is right up there at the top.
I think the pacing of Playtime 2.0 was appropriate and flexible enough to accommodate most schedules. When I first started, I thought I would never finish. I would definitely participate again in a self-directed program. I envision one new topic a year or quarterly (just a thought). Should Playtime 2.0 be considered training for all new employees? Thanks for this unique learning opportunity. Now excuse me, I am going back to learning !!!!!

Thing # 10: Roselle's Virtual Library

There were 550 entries for Roselle Library !!!!!!!
The first one was " Mark Your Calendar Things to do in DuPage County Today Tuesday"

There were two Abraham Lincoln entries. There was only one that was 51 and born in Kentucky.

NoveList and First Search were a few of the databases I looked at today. If you can't find a book on one of those, forget about it. First Search evens limits the search to the state of Illinois

NoveList should be the most popular. Thomas Register should be least because of its narrow focus. I was completely impressed with the website for the Library. What impressed me the most is how much has been added. "What's New" is just one example of how current things are. I have even seen all the book reviews!!!!!
