I've been having a browse at some of the other bloggers' postings from time to time and have found it interesting- re: information on the blogs but also realizing that other people have had similar challenges as they have been making their way through 2.0.
Today, I had a look at the blog titled Cardigans and Sensible Shoes - I was drawn to this by the title. It suggests to me the traditional image of librarians but also as a way of highlighting the changes and leaps that are being made in the way we are providing information and services through technology. It's good to keep a mix of the old and new. And as it says in one of the blogs , cardigans are coming back into fashion!
Also, I was pleasantly surprised to come across a mention of the Time Traveler's Wife as I have just finished reading this book and enjoyed reading about other people's impressions.
The post about the SciTech Library at Sydney University and their use of space there e.g. the funky furniture and unimposing reference desk was informative and got me thinking about changes that could improve clients' experience in my team's area - Family History/Independent Learners. I think it would be great to have some of the soft light lounges that can easily be moved around to make it more comfortable and it would be good if we could do a few things to refresh the FH desk area to make it more appealing to clients researching or browsing in this area.

It is encouraging reading other people's blogs while doing this course as you find out some good tips and tricks as well as that finding the time is often the hardest part of the quest.
