Thing 1 - cpd23

Well, this is a first for me. I've started this blog with a slight sense of trepidation and a little tingle of excitement. I'm about to put myself out there; fortunately with the structure of following the lovely cpd23 things http://cpd23.blogspot.com/ to start with and from there, who knows?

So, what do I want to get out of cpd23? I completed my MSc in Information and Library Management in 2010, and am now working as an assistant librarian in the customer services team in an academic library. Since I finished my qualification I've been very busy loving my job and working away at helping to ensure our students get what they need from our library. Now I would like to get better at keeping up to date with professional matters and learning new skills to help with my professional development. I'm hoping that cpd23, and the other participants and professionals I meet through the course help me expand my professional knowledge and skill set.

The scary bits: Well, this is the major one - my writings on the web. I can certainly see the benefit of blogging for reflective writing and sharing ideas and I think the first post is the hardest, so hopefully it will get easier after this!

What I'm really looking forward to is putting it all together at the end, using bits and pieces of what I've learnt to contribute to the profession and learn from other professionals.
