I've being recently thinking of how disparate in general typical library systems are.

In 2009, I wrote a series of Twitter posts studying library accounts on Twitter (here, here and here) , since then Twitter accounts have become a norm rather then a novelty for organizations including universities and companies.

As I have remarked many times before, librarians are on pretty much every internet medium/channel you can think of.

Libraries are some of the most active users of social media and it is no surprise that many have taken to using new media to spread their message and in serious cases promote their cause.

Shockwaves were sent through the internet world, when news leaked that delicious would no longer have a future in Yahoo.

I've being thinking of the nature of the work I do for my institution and it hit me that one way to classify my work is to divide it into 2 groups.

I spend quite a lot of time working on my blog in 2010, and in return it has brought me many rewards.

This is in response to my last post where I asked what blog post you wanted to read, and this is one that got quite a few Twitter votes so here it is....

As 2010 draws to close, I'm looking at my chest of unfinished draft posts and wondering which ones I should delete and which ones I should just work on and release.

Recently the front page of our library portal was down, and predictably, our members began asking for help via email & chat.

Recently, I wrote 12 User points of need - where to place your services online , but we do not expect people to be glued to their computers , they operate in the real world too.
