#23. Reflect on your experiences completing these 23 Things (week 13)

The 23 things were a great introduction to some new technology available on the web. The things that we explored could all be integral parts of the library in the future. I think that fun training programs like this are exactly what we need in libraries in order to "keep up with the times". I think that the bigger the effort we make to incorporate these things into the library here at UCSC, will directly correlate to the amount of usage that we receive from our patrons.

Not only can we entice patrons to use the library by incorporating some of the 23 things, but we can also make students live easier by providing them with certain tools that allow them to take full advantage of what the library and the internet have to offer.

We can also make our work more effective by incorporating some of the 23 things that allow us to make little shortcuts to get our work done more efficiently.
