There will be no classes or workshops offered to support this programme. Instead, employees are encouraged to work together and share with each other their discoveries, techniques and "how to's" both in person and through their blogs. <br /> <br /><strong>Who is eligible for the prizes?</strong> <br />All employees of NSL staff will be eligible for prizes. <br /> <br /><strong>Is this programme open to all NSL staff or just some?</strong> <br />This programme is open to ALL NSL employees regardless of position and status (full and part time). If you are not a member of the NSL staff, you are welcome to follow along, however the library cannot award you any employee prizes for completion. <br /> <br /><strong>How long do I have to complete the programme?</strong> <br />The program kicks off 20 July 2009 and officially wraps up on 4 October 2009. <br /> <br /><strong>How do I track my progress for each of the 23 Things?</strong> <br />Each staff member that chooses to participate in this programme will be required to keep a blog to track their progress. The overall progess will be logged in the </span><a href="http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pV8x_vSWy-6wOLcFcYoI9Ww&amp;hl=en"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#000000;">Learning 2.0 Log</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;color:#000000;">. <br /> <br /><strong>If I'm not a NSL staff member, can I still participate?</strong> <br />Yes, by all means. However, NSL cannot award you any incentives or prizes for completion. You can track your progress through the </span><a href="http://www.43things.com/person/hblowers"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#000000;">23 Things list</span></a><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:arial;"> found on the 43Things site -- I know it sounds confusing 23..43 ..23 doesn't it. ;) Anyway, we welcome participants from other libraries to join in the fun and follow along. <br /> <br /><strong>I already have a blog, should I use my own or set up a new one?</strong> <br />We suggest that you may like to set up a new gmail and blog for this exercise and delete it at the end of the programme. Remember that blogs are available for anyone on the internet to read and you should only publish personal information that you are comfortable showing others. <br /> <br /><strong>Why 23 things instead of having participants do 43 things like the </strong></span></span><a href="http://www.43things.com/"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;color:#000000;">website</span></strong></a><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>?</strong> <br />Given the timeframe of the programme, the number of "things" was reduced so that employees already burdened with busy work schedules wouldn't feel overwhelmed by having too many discovery exercises to complete in a week. <br /> <br /><strong>Will there be any training classes offered to show staff how to do this?</strong> <br />No, this is a self-directed learning programme. If you feel you need assistance with an item, you are encouraged to be resourceful and to find a co-worker or another staff member who can help. Reading other </span></span><span style="font-family:arial;color:#000000;">staff member's blogs</span><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:arial;"> can help, too. <br /> <br /><strong>I've seen the list of </strong></span></span><a href="http://northshorelibraries.blogspot.com/"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;color:#000000;">23 Things</span></strong></a><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong> on the website, but how do I know what to do with them?</strong> <br />Every few weeks, more posts will be added to the Learning 2.0 with details about the discovery exercises for that week. The reason for this staggered approach is to allow participants the ability to focus each week on a different area without feeling overwhelmed. <br /> <br /><strong>Can I work ahead through the list of items on my own?</strong> <br />Yes, of course. You are encouraged to self-direct your discovery process, especially by working ahead on your own!! However, if you do work ahead on some items, be sure to check back on the exercise details for each item once they are posted so you can be sure to recieve full credit for its completion. <br /> <br /><strong>What if I need help - who can I call?</strong> <br />Since this programme is self-directed and is being completed by many staff members throughout the system simultaneously, <span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)"><span style="color:#000000;">you are encouraged to work with colleagues along your discovery journey.
