Progress for Week of Nov. 22

We probably don't have a post due, since we are out of class for the holiday, but I thought I would post, just in case.

Working on our team project, I have found TechSoup.org to be incredibly helpful, especially the learning center. From there, and later from WebJunction, I came across TechAtlas, which seems like it would be really helpful for some libraries. With a free registration, it gives you some automated tools for some parts of technology planning, such as the technology inventory. According to their website "TechAtlas helps nonprofits [or libraries] map out technology - step by step."

The lecture posted last week was also very helpful. Some of it was a good review for things we learned in LIS5053, such as the different ways of gathering data. I found the "Analysis of System Use: Questions to Be Answered" and the "Analysis of System Users: Questions to Be Answered" very useful.
