Library Day in the Life Round 5, libday5

This post is part of the Library Day in the Life Project. For those of you who don’t know me I’m a Digital Branch Manager at the Chattahoochee Valley Libraries in Columbus Georgia.  I have been here just over a year. 6:00 wake up and get to work.  I drink coffee while checking my email and Twitter and Facebook.  Facebook includes checking my Librarian by Day page, Libraries and Transliteracy page, and Day in the Life Group since FB doesn’t send email notifications for activity on these I try to check them a couple of times a day.  I also walk my dogs and get ready for work. 8:15 arrive in the office. I have a Twitter class for staff at 9:00 so I go over my handouts and material and make some last-minute changes. 9:00 Twitter class for staff. Great overview and introduction including how to use twitter without having an account. The class went really well. I asked the Twitterati to say “hi” to the class. I got over 60 responses from all over the world so I plugged them into a google map, check it out. View Hi’s from Twitter to Class in a larger map 10:00 After the class is

Top Ten Links – Week 3

My hand selected best links I shared on Twitter from 1/14/2010 through 1/21/2010 in no particular oder: not enuf women have what it takes to behave like arrogant self-aggrandizing jerks Clay Shirky’s “Rant About Women” post. Both men and women should read this. I meant to blog my reaction to it but have run out of time, I may still do it next week. In a nutshell I agree with him. RT @toptechtrends @sirexkathryn Talking about copia – @griffey and about blio #alamwttt#alamw10 – Take a look at blio & copia, I know I mentioned them in my Top Tech Trends notes, but these 2 things are probably the biggest changes we’ve seen to ebooks and how they work sad to hear so much focus on tools & not the service they provide or needs they meet #alamw10 – This isn’t a link, its one of my tweets but I think it’s so important I’m including it. If you’ve heard me speak you’ve heard me say stop focusing on the tools, focus on your patrons and what’s best for them.

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
