23 things to explore

Hi

I'm new to blogging and it all feels like a big step as I’m very unsure about writing in public.   However, the idea is to learn something new over the summer and this seems like an ideal place to experiment with ideas and with the various technologies.  (I’m also hoping that it will be fun along the way.)

I’m in my second year of working as an Assistant Librarian in the School Resources section of an academic library.  This is primarily a collection which trainee teachers can use when they are on teaching practice in schools, so it’s a little different from the rest of the university library.  My previous background has been mainly in public libraries, both as a Children’s Librarian and doing outreach work, so I’m hoping to use this blog to reflect on how the work in this sector is different from my previous positions and how the rapid changes in technology can have an impact in helping students to find the resources that they need.  I’m also just starting my second year of the revalidation process for CILIP and hopefully this will provide both part of the learning experience and a way of documenting the reflective practice.
