The first three weeks

Week 1: Blogging

Obviously, you're reading this, so I've accomplished week 1! I also have a personal blog that only my friends can access and I contribute to JSRCC's library blog.

Week 2: RSS feeds

I'm an avid Google Reader user... which has helped contribute to my 'millennial' habit of skimming lots of information, reading little.

A few recommended feeds:

• JSRCC Specific:
  
  • Library Blog
  • JSRCC new books list (updated infrequently)
    
• Librarian in Black - Sarah Houghton-Jan, Digital Futures Manager for the San José Public Library
• A Librarian's Guide to Etiquette - tongue-in-cheek humor for librarians and those who love them

Week 3: Social Networks

I'll have a longer post about this later, but I wanted to point out that JSRCC's library Facebook is linked on the right side of my blog, with an embeddable 'fan box'.

23 Things

I've been familiar with the 23 Things project since graduate school. I think it's a great idea for librarians who want to do just a little more than they're already doing, without a whole lot of time and effort. Broken down into small, 'bite-sized' exercises, 23 Things helps librarians get their head around this whole 'web 2.0 thing'.

I'm looking forward to participating in this adventure with everyone else, and if I can ever be of assistance, please let me know!
