Here’s what I’ve been up to, instead of library blogging:
- Advocating for better web placement for Eleventh Stack.
- Plowing through ABPR.
- Joining Library Journal’s shiny new Facebook groups.
- Totting up April database stats
- Informally training folks on the Meebo widget that goes live…tomorrow!
Eek. I’m a little nervous about this, but it’s good nervous. After all, this is the test of all the Library 2.0 theorizing that’s floating about: if this is something our patrons want, we can build on it. If it’s not something they want, we’ve still learned something. I feel like I’ve definitely refined my project planning skills, and learned a bit more about the way my organization works.
That’s something I think many new librarians could use a little more experience with. Alas, the only way to learn it is to dive in and take risks (and, sometimes, lumps). At any rate, wish us luck. If I get a chance tomorrow, between the breathless hand-wringing and obsessive monitoring, I’ll let you know how the first day of Meebo went!
