Zoo...

Thank you everyone! We had a great turn-out for the district meeting and a lot of fun with the gadgets!

I will work on planning a field trip to the Apple store. We can be "wowed" by their gadgets, genuises and their excellent customer service.

Our acquisitions dept. recently purchased some great books on Web 2.0 topics. They are not overwhelming and easy to understand. They would be great to get your staff and board started with Web 2.0.
