Been too long

Sorry for the long delay in posting... I've been adjusting. Pretty well too if I might add. :)

Tomorrow I'm judging at the Georgia Student Media Festival. I'll let you know how it went.

We are working on getting Teams set up in my new library: Here are some resources I found and can recommend:
Meeting Excellence (book)
More Quick Team-building Activities for Busy Managers (book)
Fundamental Team and Meeting Skills (online training)

Long distance brainstorming

I'm changing jobs, and like most people I want to work well with my new co-workers. I wanted to find out what they thought about the library and the issues I would be dealing with without any of them feeling like people would be able to "point fingers" and know who wrote it.

I set up some worksheets in bubbl.us and it's been working really well. This isn't going to be the end of the work, but it gives me a place to start. And if we want to brainstorm more it gives us a way to put down all everything and then open group discussion to find solutions without someone feeling awkward about bringing up something not so great about the library.

Student Resources - and most are FREE!!!

I love Lifehack.org
and here's another great blog entry to tell you why.

Google Calander and it's happy perks

This article gives some extras to Google calendar. I found it very informative even though I knew most of it... and the add ons will come in handy.
