Thing 2

Having looked at several other blogs of fellow CDP23 ers, I realise mine is definitely still a work in progress and I have a lot to learn! I will keep tweaking and hopefully make it more appealing and interesting. It is of course partly a question of finding the time amongst all the other daily demands. Today I finished my working week with an informal gathering to celebrate the achievements of students taking part in the Six Book Challenge - cake and drinks were enjoyed by all. Anyway, I hope people who visit my blog will not be put off by its somewhat early developmental stage and will perhaps pop back later.

What I hope to gain from CPD23

Following on from what I have outlined below as my reasons for engaging in the CPD23 things I think I will benefit from having a structure to follow and time set aside to get around to learning all the things I have been meaning to do for ages- you know how it is! I have previously been on a course about blogging but had not got around to setting one up, so I now have a purpose and intend to improve on the basic blog I have initially set up. I am also looking forward to networking with others with the same mission.

Welcome to my blog.

I am a newly qualified librarian currently working both as a learning resource centre assistant in an FE college, and as a library assistant in the Public Library which provides an interesting range of experience. I am embarking on the CPD23 things http://cpd23.blogspot.com/ for professional development and to stop me getting lazy now I have finished my postgraduate studies. I intend to use this blog to write about my experiences during the course and to share other gems about working in learning resource centres and libraries as I see fit. Not having blogged before, the focus may change as I progress through the course and I realise the value I can gain by writing it and what others would like to read.
