Lifelong Learning

In your blog tell us which websites you liked and why:

I liked eCollege Guide because I just had a question this month from a customer with a disabled child seeking to pursue education from home online.

Instrucables looked interesting as we get customer requests for how to do or make __ and the information is sometimes tricky to find. It is especially helpful to be able to direct someone online if the school project is due tomorrow.

Postivivity Blog is a winner and would be great connected to our Staff Intranet so we can check it regularly.

Lastly, Connexions seems to offer more in depth knowledge and looks like a source worth a closer look. I'm going to pursue the topic "music theory" using their resources as a trial.

Thanks for the lifelong learning exploration. Great Topic!

Orange Seed & Orlando Memory

In your blog, describe how you see programs like The Orange Seed and Orlando Memory as being important to yourself and how they are important to the Library.

The Orange Seed program is important to the Library because it involves innovation. The Orange County Library System strives for continuous innovation and the Orange Seed provides an open forum for all staff to share ideas. It is important to me to see the improvements in our library system.

Orlando Memory is an important project for the Library and the community because it is a window to history. The archives posted can be accessed by students, families, genealogists and community leaders. It is worth promoting to our guests and are residents as a glimpse into the character and development of the area. This is important to me as a possible source for answering local history reference questions. It is a plus to our customers to have the ease of accessing this type of material online.
