The document summarizes the origins and use of "23 Things" programs in libraries and information literacy classes. It traces the concept back to a 2006 personal goals blog post that listed 43 things the author wanted to do. This inspired library initiatives where staff learn new technologies by committing to complete 23 tasks over 11-13 weeks. Key aspects include team blogs, weekly tasks, a focus on discovery over skills, and a celebratory completion event. Evaluation finds increased technology comfort and use, though not all staff complete the program due to time constraints. The document concludes by outlining the author's use of 23 Things in an information literacy class, including organization, tasks set, and reflections.
