Week 5



Well this is fun - I have just made a couple of banners

I've had a go cataloguing books onto library thing before, I find it hard to believe that people would want to do this, it must be like playing shops or doctors and nurses when you were little, people want to play librarians!!

I will play a bit more with the fun stuff -

I've also been busy with the unconference blog, and quite proud of how I have changed the links (following some tutoring from our Denise) and got rid of some of the stuff on the side (the profiles etc)

We had a visit from Chelsea Harper today, she is doing a research project on blogs and wikis in libraries.

Week 4, things # 8 & 9

Well, I seem to have got the hang of bloglines, I now have feeds to Stephen's Lighthouse & Shifted Librarian as well as About Dogs, NY Times Book Review and the Accidental Hedonist, where I learned that you can get salmonella from tomatoes.
Cool!

So I made the poster, I uploaded it to Flickr, and then I blogged it!

The photo was taken last year at Ventspils, Latvia on the Baltic Coast. The wind was very strong!

Week 3

well, how much fun can you have at work! Today I've learned how to make a trading card, I've created a stunning inspirational poster, and I've discovered how to tag in flickr!!
What do you think of the poster??

The boys - aren't they beautiful!


Walking the talk

Well, like all the good management books say, walk the talk, lead by example etc etc.
So - well done to the 10 or so that have preceeded me, and lets hope a lot more join us! Its great to see everyone's efforts - and those who have already worked ahead.
I liked the 71/2 habits - I can remember when I first came across Stephen Covey's 7 habits, and the habit that most impressed me back in the early 90s and has stayed with me is to start with the end in mind. Even when things don't quite work out the way you'd imagined, at least you'll have some idea on where you are going.
In Covey's book he gets you to do a really interesting exercise - write your obituary. A very centering experience! But not too much of the serious, I am enjoying the gardener's blog!
So, starting with the end in mind, I'm looking forward to learning these 23 things.
