Thing 22

Wow! I can't believe that I've completed these "things". I can say that at moments this has been fun, sometimes challenging, but very necessary I believe. For Librarians and Information Professionals,there's no doubt that Web 2.0 and Library 2.0 skills are not only beneficial but necessary to compete, assist, and provide leadership in this informational age. So, I'm grateful for the opportunity to participate in this project. However, I also know that this is just an introduction for me. I need so much more exposure, practice, and knowledge in this ever changing environment. But, more importantly, this project has taken some of the fear out of and maybe has even removed my reluctance to seek the skills necessary in feeling comfortable teaching and helping others gain or maintain these skills.

So, as I continue, I'll like to thank my friends and co-workers for their assistance and for their future assistance to questons that might appear obvious to those more knowledgeable. Thanks Guys!

Thing 21

After exploring Assignment Calculator and Research Project Calculator, I must admit that I'm not at all sure that this resource will work for or appeal to college and high school students.

But as a Librarian or an Information Professional, the job is to put the information out there and let the public decide what is useful or what will satisfy their informational needs.

As an IP, involved in community outreach, this would be a resource that I could definitely introduce to potential college students. They could decide if this was somethng that would benefit them.
