Well, we are at the end of this learning journey. I thought it was a very useful way to learn about a lot of things I had never experienced. I don't feel like such a dummy around my kids anymore, I actually know what they are talking about now. I feel the only downside to the program was a huge deficit in the amount of time the steps actually took. It was originally thought it would only take 15 minutes to half an hour to complete each step, when in actuality it sometimes took that long just to read through the exercise directions. All in all, it was fun and heck yes I'd do it again. I just wish there was a way to do these things under one password. I now have about 10 new accounts and passwords, which just adds to the middle-aged angst and confusion of my day-to-day existence. I was always worried that I'd lose my little, tattered cheat-sheet. Thank you to everyone who came up with a new and exciting format to teach us things which will help us to serve our customers better while having a little fun ourselves.
Over, and out.

Today we are blogging about MOLDI or The Mid Ohio Library Digital Initiative.
"The Mid-Ohio Library Digital Initiative is the result of a grant from the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), awarded by the State Library of Ohio in 2004 to the Grandview Heights Public Library. The original members of the grant were Grandview and Upper Arlington Public Libraries. This grant eventually enabled nine libraries in the mid-Ohio region to band together in a project focused on cooperatively bringing online audio and print books to the public. The need to create a new identity beyond traditional service boundaries led to the creation of the Initiative."
The website it well laid out and easy to navigate. Personally, I would use this service for homework help and reference rather than reading for enjoyment. I never have been able to get into books on tape/cd. I lose my concentration if I'm not actually reading, and it makes me very sleepy. Not recommended if one is driving:)
I like the language component. I think it would be very useful to be able to work on language skills through this medium.
I think I will be visiting MOLDI again.
