Now that the 23 Things challenge is completed and I've been bitten by the blogging bug, the question arises as to how to use my blog. There are many possiblities. There are many interests I'd like to explore.
It definitely will be library oriented, but there are so many areas of library science to choose from. Collection building has been one of my careerlong interests, library management issues for public libraries is an ongoing learning project, and there is always the day to day trials and tribulations of the exciting library environment. It is never, ever boring at the library and I can say that after 30 years in the field. I would like this blog to be useful and helpful to others. It should be worthwhile.
Currently, I'm reading and studying about blogs, Blogger and possible uses of blogs for libraries. I have discussed this with my librarians and we are planning to launch a branch blog around the first of year. Hopefully, our enthusiasm will be contaigeous and most of the staff will be interested in working on the blog in some aspect.
