New year, new post (finally!)

Borrowing from the famous Nike slogan, “Just do it,” here I post again after a too-long hiatus. For weeks now, I have been agonizing over what I should write about next, and what I ended up doing was not writing at all. I thought myself out of writing because I had convinced myself that I had nothing worthwhile to say. Yeesh!

As with most folks, this time of year always brings about reflection and plans for a better future. I am no different. Reflection is a necessary process when planning for the future. For me, it allows me the opportunity to consider what I accomplished. And what I didn’t. It also lets me consider the reasons for the different outcomes.

I begin the year with the following accomplishments: a finished script for the first in a series of scheduled podcasts focusing on the principles of information literacy; a faculty database workshop aimed at assisting instructors in clarifying for their students the difference between retrieving information from the world wide web and subscription databases, and the support of staff and administration to do more in strengthening faculty and library collaborations. It’s exciting. It’s gratifying. And there’s more work ahead. So here I go, as I go forth and “just do it.”
