Duh! I get it now!!

Thank goodness for my "live" sessions for the class I'm currently taking! I think I really had blinders on when I was thinking about how a library could use some of the 23 Things I had already explored, particularly Flickr. Of course, it makes so much sense now how Flickr can enhance a Library website. Twitter offers really up to the minute library event notification. What better way, in this world of tech savy folks, than to "infiltrate" their tools and their toys with reasons to use what the library has to offer, whether it's in person or electronically. I also hadn't thought about how useful it would be for a library to utilize a social network such as Facebook. It makes so much sense. We were shown several examples of how libraries do use those tools to keep patrons up to date on on the "goings on" in a library. I have to admit, I was a little bit dizzy after seeing everything, but it really did open my eyes to how those tools could be used.
