INULS 2009, University of Limerick 23 things @ INULS 2009Lindsay MitchellJulie WardSinéad KeoghGlucksman Library, University of Limerick
23 things – what are they? • Small exercises to help you become familiar with web 2.0 tools and applications • Originated with Helene Blowers at PLCMC and inspired by Stephen Abram’s musings on 43 things http://www.43things.com/ • Creative Commons licence • Over 1000 libraries worldwide
23 things – why did we do it? • Structured way to explore Web 2.0 • Encourages reflective learning • Fits with adult lifelong learning • Promotes a shared learning culture • Raises awareness of other library implementations of Web 2.0 tools and applications • Fun!
23 things – how did we do it? • Reviewed original and other 23 things sites • Used the tools and chose 23 things • Found relevant / fun / interesting implementations • Launched it • Ran it for 14 weeks (including 2 weeks catch-up / play in the middle) • Thing 23 • Thing 24
Lunchtime talks Blogging and RSS feeds Social networking Tagging Flickr and images Wikis Google maps Gaming
23 things – what was it like doing it? • Staying a step ahead • Informal feedback
What worked well • the weekly email reminders • the lunchtime talks • the Common Craft video clips • reading other people's blogs • seeing how easy some things were and creating awareness
What didn't work so well • sometimes there were too many things to do in one week, especially in an hour • setting up all the accounts and remembering the passwords • sometimes too much descriptive text • the RSS feeds exercise came too soon • the Twitter exercise should have come sooner
23 things – what are we going to do next? • LNSS repeats 2009 and 2010 • UL academics and researchers
My Learning 2.0 experience My favourite “thing” Highs Lows Ups Downs Conclusion
Ups • Lunchtime talks • It was interesting • Got over some phobias
Downs • An hour is not long enough • Head wrecking and frustrating • So many passwords!!......Advice try to stick to one password and login for everything
Conclusion Good experience Fun Worthwhile
23 things in the Library Library 2.0 and beyond No qualifications needed They’re everywhere!
