Library Advocacy and Our Library Backgrounds

I’ve written two new pieces, but similar to before, they won’t feature on here. Instead, if you are interested in issues surrounding library advocacy in the academic environment, or intrigued by when and why people write about their library career background then I encourage you to head on over to read the June 2011 edition of The Regent Librarian.

Whilst you are there, why not also have a look at articles discussing copyright, an explanation of the Sheffield iSchool’s change in name, reviews of conferences and an interview with an academic librarian. It is packed with great stuff!

Benefits of Blogging

My latest post is all about the benefits of writing a blog and incentives required to get going. The twist to it is that it will not be placed here, instead I will kindly ask that you head on over to the Regent Librarian newsletter. The newsletter has been set up by students including Jen and Ian, so a massive thanks to them for coming up with the idea and doing a great job in getting it going.

My article can be found as part of the May 2011 edition, along with other excellent entries covering a wide range of issues including conference reviews, library roles abroad, a day in the life of a library school student and a snapshot of Britain on the 29th April 2011.

The stable link should you wish to pass it on is as follows: www.issuu.com/theregentlibrarian.

Happy reading!
