…the librarians continued to blog. Personally, I’m not really sure what I was thinking when – without even a moment’s hesitation – I jumped on Con’s bandwagon and decided to join in with #posteverydayofjune. I have to tell you though, at 11.30pm on day six, the head scratching began in earnest: what on earth made me think I could blog more in a single month than I did in the last two years combined? And more importantly, what on earth could I possibly blog about, after a day of doing absolutely nothing?
But not all #blogeverydayofjune-ers were similarly plagued. In fact, some of us managed to have our brains switched on to the important stuff, even on a Sunday. Kathryn continued in her quest to make ‘think’ posts throughout June, with a look at why she hasn’t left Facebook, while Michelle talked about motivation (and I wondered if she could possibly send some my way – though it’s not work related motivation I’m lacking, but motivation of the domestic kind). Sophie decried generalisations about the information seeking skills of the digital natives and told us that Information literacy is dead, long live information literacy (I hear you sister!). Over at Creative Circ, Ruth pondered whether academics should get longer loan periods than other university library customers – a slight challenge to me personally, as the equity-for-all librarian in me knew my reaction should be ‘of course not!’, while the academic with several research project balls in the air wanted to say ‘hell yes!’.
On the non-library-world front, Penny kept the appliance love going, and Kate took us on travels of the literary, life and film varieties, from Sweden to Gungahlin to Abu Dhabi. Meanwhile, Con, who got us all started on this road in the first place, saved those of us who were lacking Sunday inspiration by kicking off a meme.
I wonder what week two will bring?
