So I am looking over these essays from a variety of Librarians and see some immediate application. Coincidentally, I am a member of the JPL Main staff ROVING committee. We have been tasked with rolling out Roving Library/Librarianship here to better assist customers. I have also nudged my coworkers who are not enrolled in these Web 2.0 skills modules to read and digest these essays. I am not a librarian but I can see how we must reconfigure to be ready to assist to meet the needs of our customers. I had an opportunity to help out just last week using some of the skills I have picked up in these lessons. I helped a customer with her bookmarks on AOL. Even though I had not actually worked with AOL bookmarking, I could follow my nose and lead this customer to what she was trying to accomplish. Before this training, I think I would have just had to call a colleague to help out but I was unfazed from the get go and could figure it out all by myself. This customer thought I was a genius. Ha, I did not correct her. You'll also note I am linking my posts in our comments now. Can I please have a pat on the back? Someday, someway, maybe?
