There are now a number of sites which have developed their own ’23 things’ type staff development activities. In many cases these programs are openly accessible and encourage anyone to join in.
This one really got the ball rolling, with a 9-week program for staff at PLCMC. It listed 23 Things (or small exercises) that you can do on the web to explore and expand your knowledge of the Internet and Web 2.0.
There is a long list of sites that are doing similar programs and many of these will be helpful for the motivated self-learner or for those tailoring a similar program for their library. On the list are a heap of Australian sites, including those participating in the state-wide program in Victoria.
This is a sample of sites from different sectors that have modified the 23 things program (not all Australian)..
- St. Michaels Primary School (School)
- Murdoch University Library (Academic)
- Mornington Peninsular Library (Public) – this one is part of a Victoria-wide program.
- Sutherland Shire (Public)
- Library of the Marine Corps (Special)

Learn More Series « from the LibraryStream Blog
“Learn More is a series of self-paced discovery entries for library staff interested in venturing out on the social web. Each post is meant as a short introduction to a different social website, tool, or concept. It might not be ground-breaking information to veteran readers of the blogosphere, but I hope each brief summary will act as a gentle nudge for newcomers to social networking.”
Currently, the series includes:
