And So It Begins...

Welcome to the 7505 Experience! This blog will offer musings inspired by my Applied Technology course. Full disclosure, there is a minimum posting limit to this course (every other day) so posts will be coming in fast and furious. Before we go any further, some background is in order.

I created my first website on Angelfire in middle school during the late 1990's. This site was crude in every sense of the word, but it exposed me early on to some of the more dynamic capabilities of the Internet. Next came a Wordpress blog devoted to movie reviews circa 2010. During its brief existence, I believe Blue Valentine received my most glowing review (seriously, Netflix it when this class is over). Most recently, I have been running my current library's blog at mylibraryspace.wordpress.com. I have made approximately 46 consecutive weekly posts.

I expect this class to expose me to the emerging technological trends within librarianship. I hope to gain a more robust practical knowledge I can immediately implement at my library.

So far, so good.

    1. I would say the best piece of advice I could give would be to make a schedule for content creation--and stick to it. I've found a mid-week self-imposed deadline has worked for me. But it's really up to you!
