Late lunch but worth the wait: guacamole-chicken sandwich with lots of fresh garlic in the guac -- MMM!

Making Web 2.0 Work at Work

After a 5-day weekend battling the flu I now seek to utilize Web 2.0 technology with a practical issue at work: remodeling. I have been advised that our building's fire suppression systems need to be brought up-to-date, and they are embedded in a ceiling that includes asbestos. So we are gathering our entire collection and moving it to the lower level. We will be closing the library for 8 months and our staff will be scattered to nearby buildings. I have committed to combining notifications on our website, Facebook page, Twitter and (yet to be created) Flickr accounts. I have played with these tools off and on for awhile now, so it should be no problem. Yet I am nervous about taking the first steps and actually doing it. I am a perfectionist, and not happy when I make mistakes. So I will post to my personal blog one more time to make sure the system I've created works here. Then I can venture out and do the same thing for my job.

Always take notes

As part of my new job it has fallen to me to manage the library's Facebook presence and add other social media as needed. I found out how to link together my personal blog, Facebook page and Twitter account. Now I cannot remember how I did it. So I have to start over learning how I made it all work together. I realize that human beings often have to repeat the same mistakes in order to learn from them. I just did not expect to have to repeat a success in order to re-learn it!
