Library career blog

There's a new blog on library careers called "Beyond the Job." In its own words, here's what it's about:

Professional tips for librarians: Articles, job-hunting advice, professional development opportunities, and other news and ideas on how to further your library career. Compiled by the Library Job People, Sarah Johnson and Rachel Singer Gordon.

Feedback on this blog please

Well, with five weeks of this blog to chew on, you should have a pretty good flavor of how it's shaping up. Now it's time to ask that ever-important question...sowaddayathink?

More specifically, based on what you've seen thus far, what kinds of postings have you really liked? What would you like to see more of? Less of? Anything I haven't looked at that you would like to see covered? Things that fell flat on the floor with a resounding thunk? Random ideas I've missed along the way?

Feel free to either e-mail me with your ideas or post a comment here.

Go east young man

Heyyyyy...it looks like I just keep moving east with links to my blog. First the UK, and now I just found a link to my Perfectionist Antidote posting from a blog belonging to "the Eych" in - as near as I can tell - Russia. No idea what it says. Any Russian speakers care to fill me in?

Rodent Regatta

Slowly starting to find my way around this World Called Blog and discover others who share a similar perspective (if any blogs come to mind that I should know about, please let me know). Steve Pilgrim at Rodent Regatta linked to my site yesterday. I like his take on the Meaning of Life.

3 days to intercontinental awareness!

Hey! Only three days as a bonafide blogger and already I've made the leap across the Atlantic. Take a gander at the nice things Paul at Broadband and Me in the UK has to say (and I didn't even have to pay him).

Ahhhhhhhh...gotta love those positive strokes.

Thanks for the intro to blogging John!

One last thing as I wrap up Day One...

A big thanks to John Porcaro for his lowdown on blogdom at the roundtable discussion yesterday of the Seattle chapter of Company of Friends (or cell 74, as it's affectionately known down at the bighouse). It was a great inspiration for me to get off my duff and do this. Speaking of passion (as I usually am) John's cup runneth over with juice about what he's doing.
