Library "Day-in-the-Life" round 2

I encourage you to participate in Bobbi Newman's "Library Day In The Life" project round 2. I did have a lot of fun with it last year.


It's a great example of why I think all this 2.0 stuff is great;
It allows you to work with many many leaders in the profession.
This is how one gets better, by working with the best.

also may introduce you to blogging, wikis and more, oh my!

I found this particularly brilliant (and on so many levels...)
