Thing 6

Well, I just read the part about instant messaging and I must say that when I got to the part about the slang used in chat rooms I realized either how old I’m getting or how little I use computers, because I had no idea of any of the forms used even after reading the HowStuffWorks.com page. No, wait, that’s a lie, I knew :), but that was it. So I don’t know if it is going to be a good idea for me to try instant messaging, but I’ll give it a shot. About that, are we gonna start IMing anytime soon?
I think that the use of e-mail in the library has had a positive impact in every department. It allows us to communicate with our co-workers and other departments in a more effective, faster way than traditional letters or face-to-face interactions ever could.
I have used text messaging before, and I really liked it. The only turnover I find with it is the fact that if you lose track of the current text-messaging language is really difficult to get back to it. And I haven’t used IM yet, but all I’ve seen about it tells me that it’s a great thing and we should implement it in the library. That way, when we’re sending e-mails that require an answer, instead of having to wait for the others to write us back, we would get their answer instantly, making everything even faster.
