I have come to the conclusion that my online presence is quite confusing. After googling my name, Lucy Broddle, quite a number of links came up. More than I was expecting actually and relating to different areas of my life. My odd-bod surname ensured that most of the first links listed are to me personally, interspersed by a few ancestry sites which have found some ancient Broddle relatives (which were actually quite an interesting read!)
The first link that came up is to my facebook page, which like many others on here is private and shouldn't be able to be accessed by anyone and everyone.
The next link is to a music teachers directory site, which lists my professional music and contact details.
After that, it is my very old Myspace account that appears- which I thought I had deleted?!
Then my Twitter account- which I have never used. I set it up as a social networking experiment on my graduate trainee placement but didn't get very far with it.
Next are a couple of local newspaper and art gallery links about some hand made jewellery exhibitions that I have done, this also links to my own jewellery website.
After that it is a link to a conference I attended at the British Library back in 2009, called Unlocking Audio 2 (which incidentally was a fascinating few days ending with an excellent tour around the BL sound archives).
Next is a link to an old blog I used to contribute to at Middlesex University library whilst on my trainee placement. I was working for a subject librarian on the Complementary Health Sciences blog where we posted new resources and general useful information.
Finally, there is a link to me at my current workplace.
So, what is my brand? I really don't know. I appear to be a bit of a mixed bag, which is probably true and how I like it really. But I would like to develop my professional 'library brand' a bit more. Perhaps I could rejuvenate my Twitter account for library purposes and along with this blog, aim to streamline my online presence. I hope the CPD 23 things will help me with this.
