Letter 9 - Tasks 21 and 22

Hello One More Time!,

Task 21 - I already belong to both Myspace and Facebook, so I'm going to talk about them. I have to say that I really don't think this is the way for librariaes to reach patrons. There;s so much extra junk (myspace) or inability to gain attention (facebook) that it wouldn't be worth it. Plus, even if you did get the attention of some people, it would be difficult to really reach them. They'd look at it for a sec or two and that would be it. I think there are much better ways for a library to promote itself. These sites are great for their purpose, however, which makes them good.


Task 22 - Well, it looks like things have come to an end. This has really been a great expirence anc if there were another program like this, I would definatly participate. I learned a lot about these sites and I will go back to quite a few of them now that this is over. I particularly liked the photo finding part as well as the photo animation sections. I also enjoyed looking for podcasts, and checking out our wiki. I particularly enjoyed giving some insight into myspace and facebook, and would be glad to give more if it would help. I think the one thing I might to to help this programs concept and design is work the timing out a little better. Perhaps make it a 22 week program to allow a week for each task. I know that I had a lot of trouble keeping up with this around my schoolwork so having more time for each would have been great. I really hope we do another one of these programs and that we can develop the library to be the best it can be!

Well, thats the last delivery!
