Library Learning 2.0

The Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenberg County (home of many things tres cool) has a Learning 2.0 blog for their staff with training resources and opportunities (here's the feed if you want to subscribe yourself).  They've set up a list of 23 things they want staff to learn.  Staff who complete all 23 get a USB MP3 player and get entered in a drawing for a laptop.  Way to go PLCMC!  This program is simply superb!

What a proactive way to get staff interested in learning and to motivate them to do so--who wouldn't want free gadgets?  Read more about their project on their About Page, and consider implementing something like this at your library to get staff familiar with the technologies that we and our users are immersed in.
