The program is now officially over!

I want to congratulate everyone on completing as much as you did.  It’s amazing how much participation we’ve had.  We have had some intense participation at some of our branches and units, and I’m looking forward to announcing who won the pizza party!  I’m also working on randomly selecting prize winners for each of the 53 different prizes we had to give away, and (not really) looking forward to labeling & shipping all of them

Thank you again to everyone who participated, even for only one week.  That’s one more database you know a little better, one more resource that might make your customers’ lives (or your life) that much easier.  For those of you who completed all 13 weeks, BIG PROPS!  That is a huge accomplishment.  To commit to 13 consecutive weeks of anything is impressive!

All in all, I have been overwhelmed with the staff enthusiasm, good ideas, and interest in this project.  As you may know, this was a pilot for us at SJPL–a first try to see how self-paced online learning would work for some of our existing online services and resources.  So far, it looks like it went pretty well.  Look for more self-paced online learning in the future!

And once again, congratulations to everyone, but you’re going to have to wait a couple more days for the prize winners.
