Library: The Sweetest Berry

School Library Journal is running a 23 Things style program this summer that I’ve decided to join. 23 Things is a low-key way to learn about all kinds of Web 2.0 technologies and think about ways to apply them to the library. It will be fun (in a nerdy kind of way) to see what technologies we’re already using at at my school and learn about new cool stuff to use in the fall. For example, Day One covers blogs… check!

In the 2008-09 school year, I want to make my school’s library blog more of a destination for teachers and students to get library news and to collect all of the information I’m picking up throughout the year. I’ve learned the hard way that it’s difficult to keep blogging, so an important goal for the fall will be to keep up the flow of content (as in, at least a trickle of content, please.) Maybe it would be helpful to set posting goals–at least once a week, more than six times a month–and then make posts more of a daily or weekly routine.

Participating in the SLJ 2.0 Experience is going to be a great way to get back into library blogging, since there will be something to talk about throughout the summer and I’ll be linked into a larger community of school librarians.
