I've been very delinquent in posting any new blog entries, but I hope that will change with the 23 Things for Professional Development course. Currently I work as the museum librarian at the Museum of Northern Arizona in Flagstaff. My position is only part-time. Prior to coming there I worked over 4 years in public libraries in Florida and New Mexico. Although I work at a special library, many of the principles I learned in public libraries (reference, collection development) still apply there.
My main goal is to find a full-time library position in either a public or special library. Libraries are changing so fast, making it important to keep updated with my professional education. Sometimes it seems so dizzying keeping up with these changes (especially with social media). I'm glad CPD23 is giving us the opportunity to improve our blogging skills. I hope to take what I've learned in this course to looking for jobs in public and special libraries.
Hi Tom,
ReplyDeleteWelcome to cpd23! I hope that you learn a lot from the course. I'm working in a rare books department at the moment, and I'm reading a few blogs from people working in special collections and museums libraries.

Hello Tom,
ReplyDeleteI'm also taking part in the cpd23 course, I work part time in a museum library in the UK and have been checking out the blogs of people in similar positions.

Hi Tom,
ReplyDeleteI'm also doing the cpd23 course. I'm an instruction librarian in Massachusetts but I'm also hoping to snag a full-time special collections gig.
