SURVEY COMMENTS

• Thank you very much Beckie, Gail and OPL for
  having this training made available to us all.
  Definitely we need to know this.
• A very good introductory session. Took the
  "fear" out of what these things actually are and
  what they do.
• Thanks Beckie. I think I'm in a new world!

• All levels of library staff should receive this
  training so no one gets left behind
• Thanks again for this training. I don't feel
  like a dinosaur.
• Agree that OPL staff must keep current and savvy
  especially since most of our customers already
  are aware and/or use blogs, etc.

How did we do?

• the tools I have been exposed to are only a
  small part of opening up a world I was way too
  timid to explore

now I can navigate this vast sea of tools
without panicking and calling the IT guys
what can I say, I think it rocked!
its amazing to look back at what has been
covered these past few months. Im so glad I had
this opportunity and I would DEFINITELY
participate in any future discovery programs
this mini course was the best learning
experience Ive had on the internet and I would
gladly continue with it indefinitely if it were
possible (no incentives required)
81
Momentum dont lose it!

• follow-up sessions online or F2F.
• maintain the program blog with new updated
  content.
• enrichment sessions on certain topics/tools.
• encourage the use of the technologies explored.
• provide a forum for staff to share ideas get
  feedback from colleagues.
• contest come up with new services using 2.0
  tools!
