I was wondering how can I send all my LIBNET emails to an already existing file from my INBOX mail. The problem is that they do not automatically appear in that folder when they are sent, so what I have to do is to select each one and send them to the LIBNET file. There must be a way to correct this problem and in fact, I have tried some of the help suggestions but nothing seems to work.

Twitter anyone?

About 10 days ago I decided to go from theory to practice with Twitter. Like Facebook, I decided I couldn't really understand this phenomenon withouth experiencing it myself. I've learned a ton already and see that I have a ton more to learn. Come play with me on Twitter and find out what RT means, what's a hashtag, who's following who and why. I'm @donnarwalker. See if you can find and follow me. See if you can find ALD's accounts to see what we're doing in this social network world.

Good Tech Website

For my Competitive Intelligence class at DU, I had to keep up with trending issues pertaining to yahoo, google, twitter and msn. The best feeds that I got were always from Mashable at www.mashable.com. It's a really good website to keep up with the trends in the tech world.

Learn Together

I have found it to be of great help to talk to other co-workers about what they are learning and getting together to learn. An example of this is a couple of Koelbel staff have brought their ipads in to show some of us how they work, let us practice on them and learn how to download from the ALD website. We are able to ask questions and learn as we go. Questions come up during the training that we can all brainstorm about. Many staff, myself included, learn best by seeing and doing. We are trying to get together every couple of weeks.

Tech News

Here is a good site to keep up with whats happening in the Tech world:http://www.huffingtonpost.com/technology/

Announcing a NL Team Event Focusing on Technology Competencies

In the spirit of increasing our technology competencies across Neighborhood Libraries, we’ll be starting a new blog to talk about tech issues and trends. This will be a place to talk about what you’re learning, what you’d like to know more about, and what is frustrating or exciting you when it comes to technology, serving patron needs through technology, or trends you’re noticing. Like our other team events, participation is strictly voluntary. And like our other team events, there will be prizes! We’re calling our blog Tech Talk. Hope you like it!

Here’s what you need to know:

· Jenny P will give you access to the blog, notification of which you will get through email. Once you have access, the game is on. You will have to find your way to Tech Talk and get started on your own or with the help of a techie at your site.
· Officially starts March 1st but if you want to start earlier, that would be great too
· Post a tech learning or tip and contribute to discussions by remarking on other people’s comments as well
· Each month, Jenny P, Lori G and I will choose a NL Techie of the Month based on random criteria. We might like someone’s comments on another’s post. We might like the tech idea presented. We might like the discussion generated by a particular post. You’ll never know what makes a winner, so keep it interesting with great posts on new tech discoveries you make and commenting on the discoveries of others.
· The Techie of the Month gets more than a title! There is also a $10 Amazon.com gift card at stake as well as notice of your accomplishment on the NL staffnet page.
· Supervisors will also be participating as they have goals to reach around technology to meet too.
· Our plan is to keep this going throughout 2011. We want our excitement about technology and helping each other learn to be ongoing.
