CPD thing two: Spoilt for choice! (part one)

I am having real difficulty in choosing which blogs to follow. I know I can't pick too many because I want to be able to follow them properly, reading their posts, leaving comments and having discussions. But how do I choose from such an interesting bunch?

I have been lucky enough to have the time to take a glimpse at quite a few on the list. I work evenings in our library and as it is end of term this week, most of my jobs are done, I have very few students left to deal with and our summer library projects have not yet begun. But I think this has only added to the difficulty in making my decisions!

I was happy to find the Neon Librarian, http://neonlibrarian.wordpress.com/ which is a great blog that I have followed on and off before. I was also happy (perhaps too much so) to have a comment left on my blog which lead me to look at, and subsequently follow and chat with, Cat at http://exploringtheinfoworld.blogspot.com/ We both work in FE college libraries and I think I will look for a few more that do too. I would also like to follow a few from other specialist areas of librarianship, from other countries and hopefully some who are also interested in Music librarianship and sound archives (wishful thinking perhaps). Does anyone know if/how I can search for 'music' or 'sound' as a tag?

Yes, I think this entry is going to have to be in two parts so I can update when I have picked a few more and have done some more commenting and interacting. So until part two....

  1. Thanks for the mention!
    I really like the design of your blog - I'm going to try and get mine looking a bit more unique (probably as part of Thing 3...)
