My first assignment in my present Information Storage and Retrieval Systems course is to locate a blog that is related to my library topic: public libraries. Here's one I found with a marvelous title:
Meant to be a Heroine

This is a small quote from one of her posts which I found entertaining and reflective:
"Thirdly, [yes, I realize my sequence isn't grammatically sequential] I think I just have too much academic librarian in me. I've been toying with the idea lately of public librarianship. I've never had any experience in a public library aside from being a patron. But I thought, hey, it could be fun. Yeah, well, maybe not so much. There are too many things I'm not used to at this moment, too many ways they are run differently from my dear old stomping grounds of academia. I'm not saying I couldn't learn..... I'm saying I'm not so sure I want to get into that full-fledged. The mentality is completely different....... and I'm not sure that's my mentality. I also realize that in my perfect little daydreams, I'm a public librarian in a small-town library, where there are only a few of us, and I pretty much run the show. Yup. Band mom 2.0 at it's best. =]"
Thank you, Meant to be a Heroine, for your insights.

My librarian adventure! - LS 5013-20 Competency #1
I am on my way to blog discovery through my first and only blog! My focus here will be on public libraries, specifically the children and young adult sections.
My first post!
I have begun my plunge into blogging with minimum knowledge as to how this all works. My focus will be on public libraries, specifically the children and young adult sections of libraries.
