Cunningly timed to give you plenty of weekend reading! Seven Things Katejf, FromMelbin, jobeaz, Teresa Bennett, a Public Librarian, Lutie, and Alethea all tackle the seven things meme. Help wanted Katejf asks about apps for iPad for research Kathryn Greenhill asks what people are doing well professionally/in their libraries Miss Sophie Mac asks for library-related [...]

I must confess to experiencing some difficulty keeping up with all the posts from Friday – already?? you ask – and so if I miss anyone in this summary, please accept my apologies. It’s the usual case of human operator failure, rather than anything else. The range of topics was definitely impressive. We had posts [...]

Manic Monday was a mixed bag of treats, some tiring and waning with many memes and exclamations of ‘non posts’ or  reasons for skipping days. So today I will avail you with the five posts that inspired me most (and inspired me greatly at that!): Skinnibitch wrote a particularly thought provoking post on mentoring – [...]

In library-related news: Bun-toting Librarian answers “Why am I a librarian?” Connecting Librarian writes about work experience students in the library, and commenters add their own… well, experiences. Creative Circ shares their library’s plans to create a “library based on trust”. In the handy ‘miscellaneous’ category: Opinions from an OPL writes about organisational aps. Bonito [...]

Jenelle and Naomi blogged specifically on being tired with several others, Virtually a Librarian, FromMelbin, Bonito Club,  [...]

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 [...]

Welcome to the commentary on day nine of the 30 posts in 30 days blogging event. I imagine that nine is an awkward number for this. The bigger milestone is tomorrow. If this were a marathon, day nine is when some people (like me) might start feeling the pain barrier. Anyway, this is what I [...]

…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 [...]
