The Orange Seed is an excellent resource for "putting our ideas into writing." Many times we share an idea with co-workers and everyone says, "excellent idea," but nothing ever gets done to implement the "excellent idea." Orange Seed is a process in which our ideas can get looked at more closely and reviewed to see if they would be beneficial and feasible to implement. OCLS and myself as a staff member can benefit from Orange Seed. If a new idea can save time or money, provide better customer service, or promote library resources, then everyone benefits from that idea.
I love the concept of Orlando Memory. I have to admit I love history. They were my favorite classes in High School and College. I like to look at old photographs and hear stories of how things were "back when." I hope Orlando Memory catches on and others will add historical photos and events of Orlando. I did not grow up in Orlando, however, my husband did and he has "oodles" of old pictures (many taken in downtown Orlando) that I need to take the time to download to the site. Possibly a New Year's resolution for 2009. Again, OCLS, myself and the general public all benefit from this resource as it preserves the past and makes it available to the future.
