Five weeks -- over already?!

What were your favorite experiences in the course? I liked the live chats (even though I did not get to participate in all of them). I liked the webcasts, again even though I did not get to watch all of them. I am glad to know they will be around for awhile so I can catch up.
What technology did you find most interesting for your personal use? What technology did you think would be most useful professionally? Personally I will use online photo albums (Picasa is my choice). Professionally I will continue to explore how RSS feeds will be useful to library staff and users. I will also try to find a few useful blogs to which to subscribe. My workload can't cope with too much "outside reading" so the chosen blogs (or wikis) will need to be very focused on current projects. Now it is new "knowledge services" that our library teams are planning to offer.
Were there any unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you? I was surprised that no other corporate librarians joined the class. I would have liked to hear from colleagues who have some of the same type of user base that we do in the lab.
What could we do differently to improve upon this program’s format or concept? I agree with one post which asked for the webcasts and other online presentation have a time estimate so users can allow enough time before tuning in.
If there is anything else you'd like to tell us about your experiences in this course, please feel free to do so.
Fantastic learning experience. Thanks to all oranizers and participants!
Keep up the course! And let all who have completed it have lurking priveliges in the future. :-)
