Chapter 4 Redux

I believe feedback tools could be used in endless ways in the library arena. Of course gaining feedback from staff and other librarians would be most beneficial. Patron feedback could be a Pandora's Box but would make a delicious read. Extracting the chaff would require a sense of humor, quelling indignation and an urge to throttle someone. Library Goddess rightly commented that how the survey or questions are worded are key. However, if one feels the urge for tantalizing feedback, global questions could be interesting.

Chapter 4 & Fractal Art (not exactly in that order)



I am mesmerized by fractal art and am partial to designs available at "Fractals by Vicky". Art & mathematics, what a fabulous combo. Thought I'd share!


Chapter 4 has been tackled and I'm thinking a feedback option could be a mighty tool both for the user and recipient. I was thrilled when Nichole sent a comment to my first posting, trite as it was (my posting, not the comment). Actually, I always search for my comments when I respond to other bloggers. I suppose this makes me a written word narcissist?

Crikey! It Took Me Long Enough!

Pretty boring don't you think? An upload of a picture of branches and leaves. (No offense to the photographer.) Not exactly the scintillating visual poetry I had in mind, but after making the upload process way more complicated than necessary, I settled on the first picture that took. So, what do you think? Perhaps the photographer took this photo while swinging from some vines. Maybe a "Tarzan" fan?

Believe-it-or-not, I am on week 3. I confess I find the little You Tube tutorials fascinating. I selected my favs and now have to figure out how to get them to this location. I think I may have missed something. I certainly hope I don't breach some kind of national security program as I fumble through this process.

And Away We Go....

Now begins the best of times or perhaps the worst of times as I venture into the realm of blogging. The question is - do I divulge fact or create fiction? I suspect we'll all engage in a bit of both as we attempt to be witty, candid or even charming. This is the power of creating with the written word.
