Wow, I am finally on the last of the ‘Things’ and it has made me look at something that I thought I would not use again. When I was working for my last authority they brought in the use of Hootsuite for members of staff who wanted to tweet about what was going on in the library environment. Unfortunately in those days it was less user friendly and we all gave up trying to use it and tended to send just the odd tweet about events from our own accounts. Not the best way to build up a brand image for our users. Hopefully the version that I signed up to today is easier to use and will enable me to keep track of the different social media that I use.
I have also signed up for Google alerts for things book and library based, although I do hope I don’t get overwhelmed by them. We will see!
I just want to say thank you to everyone involved in the Rudai 23 things course. It has been challenging, informative, helpful and above all a very friendly and supportive course to have been on. I think it really does show how librarians in different countries, working in different fields are willing and able to help and learn from each other. It has been a really lovely experience.
Well done Margaret, you’re finished!
Huge congratulations. You really embraced the course and embodied the spirit of Rudai23. Thank you for your 23 excellent blog posts and trying your hand at every task, no matter how difficult. Although you are weary of using too much technology and want to limit your accounts, you still signed up to everything and keep yourself so well informed.
You have been an inspiration to me through the course and I have enjoyed moderating your blogs.
Please go the the website and apply for your certificate http://rudai23.blogspot.ie/2015/10/congratulations-if-you-have-finished.html
I am very happy to sign off on your course and you will indeed receive your certificate.
Hopefully we’ll meet in the real world.
Best of luck,
Stephanie
Stephanie, thank you for all your supportive comments over the last few months. I have found some new things that I enjoy and others that will need a bit of work. I really do think that it is important for me to keep my brain active and to feel part of the library world which means so much to me. I might be getting on in years but I have no intention of slowing down and take to my rocking chair anytime soon.
