The end is near

I have looked upon this blog almost dreading creating and posting my thoughts and yet truth be told, I am a journaler. I journal every morning at least for 10 to 15 minutes. It's my release, my "talking to God" time and yet, to blog comes as a dreaded, "I must do this for school" thing.
At one time I was pretty diligent about posting a blog devotion but time ran away from me and I stopped. Now, here I am the end of the semester and instead of 15 weeks of blog I have 9, not very discplined. One thing I dread is having to check my spelling, being grammatically correct because someone else might read it...in my little written journal it's just me and the pen!
Oh well, I have learned a few things this semester.
1. It does help to stay focused and a blog it good for that, my research paper was never far from my mind
2. Blogs make it real, what I am interested in, someone else might be and I have been very interested to see how many others have checked out what I have written.
3. Blogs are not for the feint of heart, if you plan to blog, stay consistent and know what you are doing, I'm not so sure I do, but I am learning.
So, the semester is winding down and my research paper proposal will be submitted tomorrow for peer review. Not sure if I will get much response but it's been fun to see the interest so far, who knew others would be interested in ebooks and the furture of the librarian.
I would say there is more to come, maybe one more week...we'll see.

Wraping it all up

I have been very lax in posting on this blog, I think I have come to the conclusion that I am more so a paper and pencil girl. Oh, well, if I am graded on how well and often I post I would only get a mediocre grade but my thoughts are always on my research and I am really looking forward to my interview with Jean Ross, our head of the eBook program at the library.

I have written up my interview notes and had them reviewed by Prof. Solomon, he felt they were in good shape and liked the questions. I also scheduled some time with the catalogers and look forward to seeing how they make the selections they do.

I am working now on my digital library and will post on that blog in a moment. After hearing in class that people often track the number of hits it is interesting to me how many hits I may have had on these blogs. I plan to check that out.

More to come as I put this all together!
