For many a long weekend awaits and 30 posts in 30 days is taking it’s toll. Keeping up with posting yourself plus reading and commenting on blogs is time-consuming albeit fascinating.

So Friday is the day of the meme and photo. There are a number of memes doing the rounds:

• Book meme passed on by @flexnib
• Television meme started by @malbooth
• Traversal meme started by @snailx
• Show us your home screen meme started by @jenelle
• About you meme passed on by @gigglesigh

It is a great way to find out more about fellow bloggers. I know now for example that there are a number of Doctor Who fans amongst the group.

UTS bloggers @malbooth and @misssophiemac continue to challenge librarians/libraries to be more creative. Drawing a link between creativity and innovation. I must say that I agree without innovation we will stagnate and lose relevancy to our users. It can be risky thinking outside of the box and pushing boundaries but the benefits for an organisation are worth the risk. Which ties in nicely with the post by New Technologies Interest Group on the Empowering Change report – a call for open government, social media use and innovation in the public service. It is important that libraries keep an eye on what is happening with Gov2.0.

There was also some prolific blogging from @snailx who is reviewing films from the Sydney Film Fest.  I have already started a list of must see films.

Photo posts included Con with pictures of her chis and Kate shared stories about her dogs Daisy, Memphis and Edie. Our other Kate posted some terrific photos of shoes and craft.

Have a lovely long weekend to all those fortunate enough to have one.
