Library Day in the Life

The Library Day in the Life Project round 7 begins today. (Actually, it began yesterday for me, as I started noticing Library Day in the Life posts from librarians in Australia.) This is a great way for SLA members to show the world what they do all day (and for our student members, or those contemplating a career change, to see what others do).

From the project wiki:

The Library Day in the Life Project is a semi-annual event coordinated by Bobbi Newman of Librarian by Day. Twice a year librarians, library staff and library students from all over the globe share a day (or week) in their life through blog posts, photos, video and Twitter updates.

To see what everyone is doing so far, check blogs, Flickr, and YouTube for librarydayinthelife and Twitter for #libday7. There is also a Facebook page.

Big Picture, Small Budget: Knowledge Management in Non-Profits Money isn’t everything – knowledge management can be successful in non-profits, even with little (or practically no) resources. A strategy, however, is essential. Learn how change management principles can be adapted for this purpose, as well as practical advice for the reality of working in a non-profit.
