There are a lot of blogs out there, written on any and every topic. It has been interesting to see how other “library types” use their blogs. I have two different library-related blogs. In one, I review children’s, young adult, and adult books; it is excellent for recalling books I’ve read to provide reader’s advisory at the library. (http://bethanysra.wordpress.com) The other blog (where this information is posted) serves as my professional portfolio and includes a brief biography, my resume, and samples of my work; this is a way to showcase my skills and accomplishments beyond my resume.
I’ve already gotten some great ideas through this assignment. I’m planning to add a list of my favorite books to my portfolio as well as anything else interesting I find as I work my way through the 23 Things.
Nice idea to add a list of your favorite books to your portfolio. I think, in terms of demonstrating your technological and social media savvy, you might consider creating your list using a site like GoodReads and then linking to that rather than simply including a text file on your portfolio.
Hi Bethany! I came across your blog while working on Thing 23 for this year’s 23 Things. Just saying hello, and nice to see you. 🙂
Oh yes, this is Anna, from OPL/NLA-NMRT.
Hi Bethany,
I like the layout of your blog. I’m still working on mine. The use of easy layout and colors really makes a good blog. Like you, I’m in CDR 23.
