Round 5 of Library Day in the Life!

July 26th 2010 will start Round 5 of Library Day in the Life Project. What is the Library Day in the Life Project? well it started with this post suggesting that we blog what we do all day at work.  Libraries are changing so rapidly and we all know no ones is reading books, despite what the public may think  The idea being that you’re sharing an average day, so many of us don’t have an average day though so a lot of people did a week, me included. I maybe just do a day this time though, we’ll see. If you are wondering why you should participate Meredith Farkas offers an excellent explanation of why she did. The Project has turned into a great resource for students, instructors, staff and patrons. So how do you particpate? Go to the wiki Create a PB Wiki (pbworks?) account (it’s free)! Add your name, your job title (so we can see what you do at a glance) and a link to your blog. On the 27th start recording your day or week.  It doesn’t have to be a blog post it can be photos, podcasts or videos Tag your posts, pictures, videos, podcasts with librarydayinthelife. After you’ve finished your first day come go

I took these notes today as part of The Day in the Life project, if you would like to read more please see the wiki, if you’re interested in how it all got started read this post My title is Digital Branch Manager, I work for system that serves 4 counties with 8 branches (9 counting mine). In the morning before work with coffee in hand I turn on my PC to check Facebook, Twitter & my gmail account. I see a trackback to my transliteracy page so I check out the post, Sunday Night Ponderance from Andy Woodworth. I leave a comment with my 2 cents and resolve to finish the new transliteracy slideshow by the end of the week so I can post it next Monday. I proof read my post on the echo chamber, set to publish later in the day. First thing I do at work is review my notes from last Friday and create the day’s to-do list. I then proceed to: update the website including adding job seekers page, created by staff hand out monkeys email director about borrowing her nook to make videos on using ebooks check on day in the life – wow! holy hash

Sarah Faye Cohen shares why she didn’t participate and she’s wondering why others did. A legitimate question, actually one I’m curious about myself. The first two rounds of Library Day in the Life were small, I think less than 30 people total, then somehow this one took off, I’m not sure if it was David’s post or the mention on LISnews or what, but all of a sudden there were loads of people I’d never interacted with doing it (over 200 last count). Whoa. Awesome. Scary. Exciting. I can’t speak to why everyone did it but I can speak for myself. “who we are writing these memes for.” Well, the whole thing started because I look at my blog stats and the search terms used to bring people there, the most popular ones were: librarian’s day, what it like to be librarian, what’s it like to work as a librarian, you get the idea. I assumed, because how could I know, that these were searches done by people considering librarianship or just curious.  So I
