Why we need a Betty Blogger School

Betty Blogger summer school is a program run by Burlington Public Library to familiarize library staff and customers with the new technologies known as web 2.0. I signed up for the course because, as a reference librarian, I need to know what these technologies are in order to help library customers when they have questions. The online nature of the course as well as its self-pacing are what appealed to me. I always mean to sit down at the computer and discover some of these technologies, but it is always easy to get caught up in everyday life. This way, I have an incentive to do it, and will be recognized at work for having completed the course.
