The best laid plans...

We're in the midst of a recarpet in the library, which means everything is every which way - including my reference room! So, I plan my vacation around when I think they'll be moving the furniture back into the reference room, only to find they won't be doing that until next week (which, of course, is when I'll be taking my time off.) I suppose a lay out floor plan will simply have to do the trick.

In other news, I've been working towards putting together a floor plan for how to implement a library blog. More up-to-date, easy to keep current, and frankly, easy to write and put together, than a library newsletter, I'm hoping that a blog for the library will be a way to keep patrons posted about new research opportunities, new materials, changes in schedule, all sorts of fun things!

Yesterday I did a bit of a literature review to find articles that discussed library blogging. Today's activity, really this afternoon's activity, will be reading through the eight or nine articles I printed yesterday to glean insights and ideas. Hopefully within this year, that will translate into a blog for the library, which will hopefully translate into another way for our users to get up-to-date information.

Love blogs, love blogging!
