Black Belt Librarians
Black Belt Librarians
Today, 3/11/08, I attended a presentation at ESRL concerning library safety. The presenter was Warren Graham. For the past weeks, the employees at my location have been talking about our issues with safety at our facility.
This presentation was excellent. It addressed all of our concerns.
As employees of the library, we have a right to have a safe and secure work environment and we have a right to be treated civilly by the public that we serve.
My problem is that there is no plan or procedure that I have seen since my employment that establishes guidelines for enforcement of rules. Also, I feel that when we try to create some rules that insure some order on our shift, we aren't backed up by administration. As a matter of fact, some managers actually sabotage the process and you lose the advantage that you had established.
My hope is that everyone from the top down gets this information and does something with it. Everyone that works in the library and patrons that use the library may one day have their life depend on it.
ZOHO WRITER
Week (8) of 23 Things is about Zoho Writer. I created the document as requested in the exercises and I created a free account. My document concerned the conference I attended today on Black Belt Librarians. It was an excellent presentation by Warren Graham. He is the author of "Black Belt Librarians."

Week 7 and the WIKI WIKI Experience
Well, it is done. I have completed all requirements so that I can move to week 8. Halleujia!!!!!! I created a wiki for myself and I am hoping that folks will contribute to it. I am caring for an aged parent and it hasn't been easy, so I created a page on my WIKI entitled, "Becoming Mom and Pop". Please leave comments and suggestions if you are a caregiver. You can access it from my blogger. How neat is that?

Wiki, Wiki
This one sounds interesting. I looked at the discovery exercises, but haven't "jumped" into the Wiki thing as yet. I like this exercise because nothing has to be uploaded or attached. Just read and discover.
