This is my first attempt at writing a blog! Why am I doing this you ask? First and foremost for a class I am taking at Syracuse University where I am in my second semester of their M.S. L.I.S. School Media Program. One of the classes required is about information technologies and their applications in libraries. Hence, the blog.
I am taking three classes this semester and also completing my first 50 hours of fieldwork. All of the classes use projects in lieu of tests so you can imagine how busy I am with school. I am also the mother of 2 lovely boys, 9 & 12. Between their schedule and mine, the laundry pile is getting enormous from lack of attention.
I will try to provide at least one link in my posts (isn't that really part of being a true blogger?) and provide reasons why you should check them out. So my first link is to http://www.librarything.com/ because I am researching it for a class discussion next week. I am hoping to create an account soon and will post my screen name when I do. So why should you check out LibraryThing? This is a really cool site for people who love books. The site can help you find books that you might like based on a book that you read and enjoyed. For example, I loved _The Time Traveler's Wife_ by Audrey Niffenegger. If you loved this book, LibraryThing recommends reading _Three Junes_ by Julia Glass (something else I have already read). But wait, if you hated this book, LibraryThing provides a list of books that you probably wouldn't own if you own _The Time Traveler's Wife_. Very cool!
Check it out!
