Blog#9

Oh no! Our last blog!

I honestly don't think I will continue to blog (at least not on this Blog....lol). I would like to keep this blog set up for school work/postings, but perhaps I will venture to some other form of posting my thoughts - don't know where, but will find something. I wouldn't say I've hated Blogging, but I did just want to keep things posted school oriented. In the past I have not really like posting my view points on issues to the public, but have learned to be a little less harsh on myself and ideals and don't mind scrutiny (though I never really was judged based on my comments...except for my graded assignments- lol).

As for the future of referennce services - they will constantly increase in need and technology. I agree with this week's readings that there will always be a need for reference services dispite their individual forms. I envision over the next 10 years, that in the world of libraries, there will be an increase in users and a higher need for reference sources. Kids at even young ages will be turnign to web for reference sources. Other patron's needs will need to be met via the web, but the need for libraries in general will go hand in hand with its users, whether they be young children, students, seniors, or just the avid reader.

My hope is that I will have a place in children's services among the future of libraries, I also hope to exceed library user's needs in now and in the future.

Hi Vanessa,
This is my second attempt to comment...I wanted to add a couple more comments and didn't want to post the same thing twice. Sorry about that.
I thought your comments on blogging were interesting in that I reflected back to when I first started blogging. You stated that in the past you have not really liked posting your viewpoints for everyone to read and scrutinize. I've read several of your comments on various discussions and didn't notice any apprehension whatsoever. They were great. I guess I like blogging because I don't feel like I'm being scrutinized, just expressing how I feel about something. Anyway, it was great sharing information with you this semester...I'll have to get registered this week as I have similar goals. I wish you success in your future endeavors.
