Emerging Trends

The library world, like all professional fields is relatively small. I am very happy to be a part of the library world here in Charlotte, NC where one emerging trend came into being. The public library system of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County (PLCMC) created a program called 23 things. My blog was originally made because the library I work in was having its employees go through this program. If anyone reads my blog, it is likely that they too are bloggers. At any rate in my reading for my Master's in Library and Information Studies, this program comes up time and again and is being used all across the nation. So, for those of you who may be interested in learning more about Web 2.0, here's the link: http://plcmcl2-things.blogspot.com/#23

Enjoy it, I did. :)

Renewal

I don't know why I've always felt that fall is a time of renewal. Maybe it's the result of being raised in an academic world and living my entire life in semesters. This fall has been such a time. I got my new job at Pfeiffer University library as the evening librarian and I am also putting the final touches on the interior of my house.

I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas. They'll both be quiet holidays this year but right now I'm ready for some time where I can just relax and enjoy the new surroundings I've created for myself.

Well: I was going to put something of amusement up but I've got nothing. I'm calling it a night.
