Hmm - really getting a bit behind here - it doesn't do to go on holiday; you have twice as much to do when you get home!
However, have 'liked' 23 Things on Facebook (not difficult...) and joined an online discussion yesterday evening (impressive...) A little disconcerting that the other 13 people seemed to know an awful lot more than me, but I picked up one useful tip to pursue. I found out about the discussion via Twitter - now Twitter has been the beginning of it all for me; it started my networking journey.

Twitter

Have capitulated slightly (if that's possible!) and posted my photo onto my Twitter profile and yes! here too :-)

Twitter

Ah! Twitter! Joined a while back and vaguely followed a couple of celebs...
then went to LILAC11 for a day, which rekindled my interest!
Followed LILAC tweets and it's spread from there - some really interesting links AND you don't have to trawl through masses of text to get to useful info - :-)

Thing 3

All very interesting and I can see that it is useful to personalise your presence locally in your own institution - library website / Moodle pages / Intranet etc. However, remain to be convinced about it's use for me personally in a wider context.

Day off at Wimbledon!

Tuesday was a day off this week; tickets for No.1 Court at Wimbledon :-) and it didn't rain!
Saw some good tennis and savoured the atmosphere
Three things you notice when you are actually there as opposed to watching on TV:
1 How incredibly compact the ground is
2 How well organised everything is - all the staff, events, facilities etc.
3 How light travels faster than sound if you are sitting at the back of a show court! You see the ball played and then hear the sound

Okay! Thing 1 and Thing 2 accomplished. Have selected a couple to 'follow'.
I just love this networking thing! Looking at one blog leads you off down another pathway. Joined twitter a while ago and that's fantastic for networking - loving all of this!
Only thing that concerns me is the danger of leaving some learners behind - those who aren't IT inclined - that's not just the more mature either!

20th June - Following cpd23 Things this summer to bring me up to speed with web2.0 and libraries.
