My favorite discoveries were using the research tools such as academic magazines, scientific journals, and the book review and book recommendation sites.
I feel more comfortable; however, I am just glad to know that many of these offerings exist. I was unfamiliar with them before.
It was time well spent; however, once again I think we were all trying to cram time to complete this exercise at the expense of our fellow workers and getting our jobs done. It would have been much more enjoyable and fruitful to have it done in a quiet group setting away from our regular branch where we could have focused on all these resources without feeling as if our coworkers and jobs were suffering from time spent on the 23Things.
I think this program would be great if we could redo it away from our regular working hours. I found the resource sites fascinating and honestly did not know they existed. Similarly, I think patrons would be amazed to know such a wide variety of resources were at hand.
So yes, I think it was a great exercise, I wish we would have had more time to do it without interfering with completing our regular jobs. I suggest for the future it be held off-site. But I think a more advanced program such definitely be pursued for both library employees and patrons.
