Tools To Know About: 23 Things

23 Things programs are interactive trainings designed to take library staff through a course that introduces them to web 2.0 tools and ideas.

Over 500 different libraries have created 23 Things programs in the last 5 years and this post just points to a couple of them. The original 23 things program was designed by Helene Blowers at the Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County in 2006. The PLCMC 23 Things is still up, but is a little outdated now. A more recent program is the 23 Things from The University of Saskatchewan. In addition, if you're interested in the 23 Things movement you can read 10 Tips About 23 Things by Helen Blowers.
