It's Friday the 18th and our second lot of visitors (4 adults plus two small children) will leave us tonight...life will almost be back to normal with no more tour guiding and transport duties. Also looking forward to returning to a normal diet....eating out is nice but can be too much of a good thing. Has the stress of all the visitors made me lose any hair??? check the photo.....

Is this it?

Now, having resurrected my old wiki (unloved since 2007) here is a link to it:

And another post after much brain srain to remeber how to access this blog.

Michael Stephens session on Wed morning was great...the main message I took away was marketing (sort of)...get your library out where your users are, wherever that may be.

We never have as much information as we would like, the information is rarely truly comparative , and it doesn't arrive in time.

So having listened to 7.5 habits here we go:
Goals: I'll know when I get there OR To complete 23 things
Obstacles: lack of time, meeting commitments and interruptions
Important to keep to a regular Friday pm time slot and relocate out of my office
Task list is the 23 things.....

Week one

Well so far very small steps after a week of distractions.
Really need to get some of this background reading underway. Agree completely that our core business includes and requires understanding the environments that our users occupy. Ipso facto Web 2.0 or whatever you like to call emerging/emergent technologies.
Concentrate on exploration....discovery ...play.
The last one is easy, computer games preferred over housework any day. The games I play include large elements of exploration and discovery (plus the odd moments of mayhem).
Now back to more serious reading....
