CPD23 Things

I've skirted around the 23 Things online training course for a few years now.  The launch this week of CPD23 Things finally convinced me to give it a go, as it appears to offer a structured way to get to grips with the rising throng of online tools that are becoming available.

This blog is a mixture of personal and library-related thoughts that I've kept for the last 3 or so years.  My postings have been woefully infrequent; perhaps something 23 Things will cure.  To kick my effort off I'm published a lengthy post below on the impact I believe social media is having on libraries.  An edited version of a longer (can you believe it) essay I recently wrote, it sets out my own, personal views, on the developing world of social media.
