And so I start to blog as part of my job. I have been blogging for about four years now on a variety of sites and have met friends around the world (even indirectly my husband!) through blogging. It's been a very rewarding experience.
Now as a research assistant at the Calgary Public Library, I'm taking part in some online training (known as CPL 2.0), hence the work blog. I'd also like to review books I've enjoyed here, because 'jardin de livres' or a garden of books is undoubtedly a library! And I am surrounded by many books, electronic and physical, every day at my job.
As far as the CPL 2.0 training questions go, I'm excited to be learning more about the internet, specifically Twitter. I've already used various online programs like Flickr and LibraryThing, but I'm so used to writing longer blog posts, that the thought of condensing a post down to 140 characters, when I don't text on a cellphone or enjoy using abbreviations, seems a bit intimidating. I'm sure practice will help, while learning with everyone else.
And as for books, I'm hoping to review Fingersmith by Sarah Waters and The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins soon!
