Hi Jenny

I'm really only looking at public libraries and although it pains me
to turn down a chance to get a survey filled in, I'll have to say no
thank you!
Sorry about that. Thank you for replying to my thread though.
Kind regards

Sarah

I'm not a public librarian - I run the library in a large 6th form college.
Would you like me to do the survey anyway?

There is Library Web, [link] - but that is for
public libraries mainly. Also a news ticker site rather than a
newsletter.

Joining CILIP (if not already) would probably be the best.

Blogs round-up for SCONUL Focus

Hi,

Apologies for any cross-posting, but Phil Bradley drew my attention to
your group (which I wasn't aware of and looks very useful). Earlier
today I sent this message, which may interest some of you, to the lis-
infoliteracy discussion list. Although I specify HE libraries, I would
actually be interested to hear from other library sectors too:

Public library blogs - are there many?

2008-02-02T11:49:03Z

Hello!
I'm a new member. I'm working towards my MA in Librarianship after
spending 3 years as a library assistant in the National Railway
Museum's library and archives. Although that was great fun, my heart
lies with public libraries and I've always been more of a generalist
(which I think is a nice way of saying Jack of all trades).

Celebrating 5 years blogging!

2008-02-01T17:49:32Z

Apropos nothing at all really - but today is the 5th anniversary that
I've been blogging. I did some sums and have posted over 2,700
entries, which is about 2 per working day. That includes the old
Blogger blog that I hosted on my own site, and my two Typepad blogs.

Have we got any other claims to longevity?
