After moving to South County, I learned about Library Link of the Day. It has been a great source of professional literature and interesting topics to think about. Each day I find in my email inbox an article from a worldwide professional journal or an article about libraries or of interest to librarians from another resource. They range from library architecture, to innovative services, to cutting edge technology. All are interesting and thought provoking.
Library Link of the Day can be accessed at http://www.tk421.net/librarylink or find it by googling Library Link of the Day. It just takes a few minutes out of your day and provides cutting edge information that can really vitalize service in your library.
One recent article that really hit home was and article from the May 31, 2008 Wall Street Journal, by Luc Sante called "The Book Collection the Devoured My Life." It's located at http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121217626838633437.html Each of our personal book collections, our personal libraries, are a reflection of our lives and even stages in our lives. The same could be said of all library collections, as well. Each library has its own special personality. Sante mentions that book collections are living reflections of us. Check out his article, it's one of the best I've read in a long time. Check out Library Link of Day, too. It has been one of my great discoveries this year.
