23 things assignment #1

I started doing this exercise last year and never finished. I hope to see it through this year.

Week 3: RSS feeds
I registered for:
Library Journal (one article on Internet access in libraries - It's still a hot topic and it seems there still isn't enough access)
New York Times Book Review (one of my favourite source for reviews, and helpful for Readers' Advisory)
New York Times Fashion & Style (I need to know what the best dressed librarian should wear!)
iTunes top 25 songs (what's a day without music)

I know there are days where I won't have time to check the info, but it's right there on my screen when I have the time at work or at home.

Readers' Guides

Readers' Guides for fiction -"Family Relationships", "Art in the Novel" "China Voices" "Grief" - these are just a few of the many guides created by Browsery librarians. Australia - remember The Thorn Birds, or the novel turned movie My Brilliant Career? I chose pictures of Australia and might compile a fiction guide after my trip with my husband down under November 23 - December 21, 2007.

23 Things Assignment #1


Blogs - they're everywhere - and I am not a big blog enthusiast. Maybe this training will inspire me.

I hope to share Readers' Advisory tips and good reads, since I find my most rewarding times as a librarian are when I am approached by a patron and thanked for recommending a good read to them. And they ask for more!
