To blog or not to blog

Ok, I'm getting my head around people wanting to read anything I've written in a blog. My
opinions, my thoughts and ramblings. Its a steep learning curve. My teenagers are doing it,
now I'm doing what I never thought I'd ever do!!!!! WRITING A BLOG.

I finished TAFE 4 years ago and thought great the learning is over, only to realise (yes I know you're are amazed) it never ends. Its exciting, its scary, its great to be discovering new technology. I did the database training a couple to weeks ago and today helped a student find info in the Literacy Reference database. Very exciting. I'm on a roll.

Communicating up to date information to patrons is a challenge for libraries. I can see that utilising blogs is a great way to inform, entertain and educate. I loved the Southern Tablelands History Matters. I live in a historical part of Sydney (who doesn't) and that idea could definitely work where I live.

I'm learning and enjoying myself and hopefully will be able to improve my skills as a library assistant. Looking forward to next week.
