Table of ContentsThing 1 and 2: Read this wiki entry & find out about this program and lifelong learningEstimate of time: 1 HourRemember to register Overview
This is a self-discovery program, which encourages us all to take control of our own learning and to utilize lifelong learning skills through exploration and PLAY. Even after completing the program, everyone is encouraged to work together and share with each other their discoveries, techniques and "how to's" both in person and through their blogs. Forgotten your password? You can request it through the website You will have the option of learning all 23 things OR choosing a baker's dozen (13) of these web tools to learn. This introduction counts as your first one, so keep reading! We have set it up so that you can manage your learning by using a combination of a blog as well as a new Delicious -- both of which you'll be guided within the next few weeks to complete. After that you can choose which tools you most want to learn and press on at your own speed. By making your blog public and bookmarking and tagging it on Delicious, we will be able to track each other's progress and share stories from our hands-on experience. We will be working in this wiki environment which is meant to be collaborative, so as you see things that would enhance your's or other's learning, have a question or comment, please feel free to add comments to any of the pages or weekly blog posts.

Benefits
- We will be learning together. If you're reading this -- you probably already realize that lifelong learning is part of our commitments as information professionals.
- Through this process, we will develop more confidence in helping our clients to apply these Web 2.0 tools as we learn to apply them ourselves.
- AND you will be able to incorporate all the elements and tools you are learning into your own personal blog, which should position you to be able to apply blogging and the other tools you choose to learn to your organizations.
Perspectives
If there are good websites to read or models to share, we will point you towards them; hopefully as you spot good ones as well, you'll add them to the wiki. Learning usually incorporates internalizing our new knowledge, so we thought we'd all practice by learning on SLA's wiki. We can start by sharing our knowledge about our chapters and divisions and to collaborate on projects. As I've gained confidence in the 2.0 tools as a result of this process, I realize that it is just a new way to share information and knowledge, but it is so much more fun if I'm not fumbling!
The Reflections: Localize your learnings sections are the part where you actually do the project - for example, create a blog, sign up for Delicious, or set an RSS reader, so we will be coming to that shortly.
Reflections: Localize your learnings
Often we are most comfortable using new tools personally with our friends and family. If you need to set up a wiki or a blog for something in your personal life -- do that -- take your learnings from 23 Things and try to apply them right away -- not just complete an exercise. Do something that will help you make this learning your own. No worries, you'll then be able to apply them in your professional life. If you need further inspiration other than from Stephen Abram, loads of people write about the advantages of lifelong learning
. Also, don't forget to register to participate in SLA's 23 Things Initiative.
Challenge
As information professionals we know that people expect us to model information behaviors. If you're like me, a hands-on learner, you'll see that this program was set up for us. Some of you will find this program a snap (more power to you, but I hope you will find a way to help your colleagues like me for which it doesn't come as intuitively). For those of you who want to get past the basics, we encourage you to take your learning to the next level at each step.
Start learning to use the SLA wiki, by reading Wikis 101 for tips on how to maneuver in this space.

I have spent 50 years creating me and am very happy with who I am and how I am in the world. Why do I need or want an avatar or to waste my time with all of this when I could be gardening or reading my endless stack of books that I love? Because I have to work at least 12 more years and have to deal with the youngsters who wear all of this as second skins. I do believe in life-long learning and am busy taking tap classes, meeting with a French tutor weekly and swimming daily. BUT after my Seattle experience I choose to become a lab rat. Yes, this is a conscious choice...not an interest really, but something I think I should spend some time with: the adventure begins....Nancy

It was a wonderful experience as a first time attendee of the conference. I liked the way SLA prgrammes were organised. Lots of opprtunities were available to meet fellow professionals. I wish the conference was for a longer period so that I could meet more people. We learn a lot by meeting people. Throughout life one keeps on learning ---it may be professional or personal. Recentaly technology has affected our personal & professional lives in many ways. SLA is facilitating Information Professionals to learn 23 things, it is a very good initiative of SLA. Learning 23 things will definately help me in my work Because I am working for IT company I will be able to talk to my colleagues in their language.

I knew I had Signed Up for 23 Things, though there didn't seem to be a call to Sign In. So the next choice was to register to use the SLA Wiki, which has done the trick, though now I can't remember where I went to do that. While there (wherever it was) I found the page SLA has set up for our chapter, so that was a bonus.

I've been stuck on the first "thing" for awhile. But, now I'm on vacation and thought it would be a good time to make a little progress. I met Richard Geiger (23 Things song writer), at a San Francisco Chapter meeting last night. Thanks for a good time, SF Chapter! I met and reconnected with a lot of great people. I am challenging my DC Chapter colleagues to try these 23 Things, so I'm trying to lead by example. It is encouraging to hear that some people have already completed this course. Thank you for the comments, everyone. Support is important.

I'm not too confident about how much I'll be able to do. Not because of my abilities, but rather because my company blocks so many sites - especially "social networking sites" and some have come and gone mysteriously - Flickr disappeared, but YouTube suddenly became available. I have had no luck in contacting IT to let me have access to anything (specific library blogs or previews of safety videos to purchase).
Now I'm off to see if I can get access to a blog of my own...

I wasn't able to attend SLA 2008 (even though it was just up the road from my home), but better late than never. I feel a need to keep learning new things, and SLA's 23 Things is just the ticket to keep me informed and feeling as though I'm not missing the boat in my very small library. As a fairly new librarian - graduated June 2007 - I'm familiar with some of the technologies, but we don't use them in our library. Nevertheless, this is going to be a great way to further my goal of ongoing professional development.

Recently, our Library began Friday Play Dates. Anyone here interested gets together for an hour or so to learn a new Web 2.0 application. 23 Things should prove useful in our initiative to learn what our patrons are learning.

I just registered into 23 Things this afternoon, and read this overview and Wiki 101 and a bunch of the links that were on that page and seem to do a great job of explaning the idea of wikis and terminology and I guess things you can do with them. But what I'm not seeing is any instructions of HOW to do any of this. I guess I managed to create a "space," but I'm not sure what to do next. Are you supposed to look at some of the other pages and add/import them into your space, just invent something to say or what? I think I might be missing something in this process here, but I don't know what or where to look for it. Can someone else help me? My email is Susan.Barned@atf.gov if any kind of response would bore everybody else.

Keep going through each "Thing." In the next two modules, you'll set up a blog and start keeping track of what you are learning. We offer different options for blogs. Some participants have decided to keep their notes/ideas within their own personal space in SLA's wikis. Many revisit these pages and leave impressions of what they liked/don't like about the tools they've played with. Our main goal is for you to learn about different tools while having fun playing around with them. Karen

This is Apurba Kanjilal from INDIA. It's April 7 2009, and I have joined 23 Things. I am fifty years of age and work for ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation). 26 Years behind me in this endeavour.
I look forward to learn a lot from 23T and also from Innovation Lab. Special thanks to Mr. Stephen Abram.
Even though, I am located in India, 'Special Libraries' followed with IO, and Library Journal have been the main source of information and inspiration throughout my professional career.
Now the Institutional Membership which we have taken, is a dream come true, openning up new vistas in learning and sharing.
I hope to benefit a lot, and use open source tools, to dessiminate content in a professional way within my Intranet.

I'm excited to start working through the 23 Things. I've been doing some of the stuff already, but it'll be great to get a chance to learn better (and probably more efficient) ways of doings things.
I have a suggestion: could the counter (the number of participants) be taken out of the intro page title?
http://wiki.sla.org/display/23Things/Welcome+to+23+Things%21+%281%2C792+SLA+members+registered+so+far%29
If one bookmarks the page, and then tries to go back later, they are redirected to the page that says 'not found, maybe it's been renamed' page since the count (and page title) has changed. Maybe move the counter to the next line and make it a separate element? Maybe this is only an issue on Safari?

It appears that to play in the sandbox, I can add a child page to the main sandbox page (is that correct?). Also, when you click on Dashboard, it looks like I can set up my own space on the SLA site. It also seems that you can log into Confluence /Atlassian site and set up pages there as well. Can you please clarify this for me? Thanks so much.

No need to set up your own wiki, just learn about them. The link to Wikis 101 will give you a very good overview.
One needs editing privileges to change SLA wiki pages, but everyone can make comments as you did above and I'm doing now.
For example, I can edit this page because I'm one of the page admins, but you are not.
However, the sandbox is for playing and you can add a page there, but it is just for play.
Happy to talk you through this if this doesn't make sense. Just shoot me an email: dhunt@information-edge.com

I have been blogging for a while and had a Delicious account through a class a few yeara ago. Password retrieval is my biggest internet problem. But I am working on it. iPhone and iPad have upped my available time on the internet so I hope to have enough time to add this learning activity to build on my writing and internet skills. Thanks to all who prepared it.

A quick question on wiki. Can I ask what are the main reasons for using Confluences? We use Media wiki for our library website, and I'm interested to know the advantage of using Confluences.
Thank you.

@Mayumi -- I have worked with both platforms (i.e., MediaWiki and Confluence). I think Confluence actually can support a variety of wikis (e.g., types, styles, formats, management, etc.) whereas an installation of MediaWiki is more geared towards a single focus. You would have to install multiple instances of MediaWiki to obtain the same model you get with Confluence "out-of-the-box." You can check with Quan Logan @ SLA if you have additional information.
