Library Day in the Life Round 4, January 2010
Yes it’s that time again, time to start thinking about participating in the Library Day in the Life Project. Will you blog, Twitter, take photos, or show video? or some combination of all? For those of you not familiar with the project in a nutshell library works of all types document a day or a week of their work life. You can check out the original blog post, my explanation of why I do it, or the wiki for more info. Due to the high number of participants in July 2009 I’ve made some changes to the wiki hopefully will create a little order for those trying to follow along. I moved the previous list off the front page to its own page. I created a new page for Round 4 January 2010 and added a number column to the table. I also made some changes to the format based on my observations from the last round. Include your job title & type of library in your blog post or video to help readers For the Twitters a hash tag for #libday4 (if you have a better one let me know, speak now or forever hold your peace). Round 4 of the Library Day
