a non-librarian in library-dom

[Sandra Fernandez]

I tend to hang out with techies in my spare time, and the one comment I get from them quite frequently is how surprised they are at the amount of librarians in social networking. Blogging, wikis, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace... you name it, you will find librarians (and, because of them, their libraries) represented. Librarians are doing wonderful things with YouTube and SlideShare and other tools. And it's getting noticed.

When I migrated to library-dom, more than five years ago, I don't know what I expected. But I'm very sure that I didn't expect the level of cutting-edge innovation that's going on always.

It's a great thing to see and a great thing to be a part of, even in my supportive promotional way. :-)

Kudos to all of you.

I feel the same way. It has been cool over the past few years getting exposed to things I may never have discovered but for my connection to libraries and technology. Just a small slice of what makes being a librarian AWESOME.

Thanks for your comments...many libraries need to investigate Web 2 and Lib2 and see how innovative it can be and it really can be fun! Babby Boomers, Gen Xers or Milleniums all need to work together ... we all have different skill levels and all have alot to offer and it can work!
