Um....it's really not my forte to talk, give speeches, or even write well (hence the "um"). The idea of branding "my online presence" seems bizarre to me.
The college I currently work for is not willing to allow social networking by everyone that wants to start a Facebook page on their behalf. However, I can see myself as having a fierce online librarian presence, but just "me" - no. There are way too many brilliant librarian's out there with ridiculously interesting ideas to read and ponder - I feel like making a brand of "me" would just stuff the internet a little louder and take away from my reading time even more (you don't want to see my 'if I have time to read' physical pile, let alone online readers).
Good Luck out there to the beginning brilliant librarian's who want to have a voice and lend us new aspects of librarianship they are passionate about.

cpd 23 - Week 1
Why am I taking the cdp11 course?
I am a second year librarian in a private career college. I have the availability to work on personally selected projects. Therefore, I would like to see what else is out there so I can process these technical innovations into avenues to assist our students.
I'm not a blogger. I am a horrible at keeping a journal and I'm not one to spout out about things (more introvert and observer) - leaving me with little interest in writing and promoting myself. However, I constantly read blogs in the library world - so I am already good with Thing 2 this week :-)
A little history: This blog was originally created for the same reason (to be more tech savvy) in one of my MLIS courses. As you can see I didn't have much to say then, just enough to get credit for learning how to start a blog. I took the time to edit the design. I hope you like it.
