Librarian X

Last week Karin Dalziel blogged a couple of great posts: Professional Social Networking: Why and How and Do’s and Do not’s of professional social networking. Every LIS student and new librarian should read these! I can personally attest that her strategies for visibility work for her — I found her by looking for CC-licensed Zotero images on Flickr for a web guide on citation managers I was making, and noticed her user icon a day later on a twitter feed and then went on to check out her blog from there.

I’ve actually set up a “New Librarianship” folder in my Bloglines to keep an eye on some of the great blogs on the topic I’ve run across.
