3.23.11

One of the most important things that I have learned from enrolling in this course is that no matter what your job title is you must advocate yourself and make it look as though you are one of the most important attributes to your co-workers.  I think that that is something a person can always work on, especially myself.  This week I learned a lot about the great things WEMTA had to offer this year.  I was tempted to go, and at the last minute bowed out.  I'm a bit disapointed that I didn't go, but am interested in seeing about becoming a member even though I'm not in a library at this time.  I also enjoyed everyone's presentations tonight.  There are so many neat lessons out there that are beneficial and I look forward to hopefully using some of these in my own library some day.  I'm especially excited to try using screen-castomatic with some of my work tools.  It's going to be exciting to show all my co-workers about it.  Another one of my favorite parts of the class were all of the databases and tools I've learned about over the past few weeks.  I feel like I've learned so many new things and that there can't possibly be more tools out there, but there are tons out there still and I can't wait to learn more and really hop on board with technology!
