Always learning

The Brookings Public Library staff is taking a 10 week online course on Web 2.0, sponsored by the South Dakota State Library. This South Dakota Library Challenge course will teach us about blogs, RSS, podcasting, Flickr, wikis and more. Some of this is already known by the more "hip" staff (there's a term that dates me!). The rest of us are keeping up with a little help from our friends.

Learning new things can be challenging, fun, and, at times, frustrating. It is part of our mission to keep up with or ahead of what's happening in the world and that includes technology. So if you see staff members bent over computers, muttering in acronyms, it's just us learning about the next new thing.
