Another semester accomplished--that's amazing. This has been a wonderful time and I am gratified to see that you are contemplating ways to continue the Project on a less intense schedule. I would really be happy with that idea. Let's keep this powerful momentum going! You (the instructors) have done a fabulous job!
Thank you for the link to "yes and". I really liked this in juxtaposition to "no but". I think when we examine the words we habitually use in communication, we can tell what our outlook is and tweak it to make it more hopeful. This reminded me of a book that I return to time and again: "The Power of a Positive No" by William Ury. The basic premise of the book is to sandwich your no between two yeses. I have been practicing this and it really works(!) for your own integrity and keeping relationships in tact and in balance.
I have bookmarked Pew Research. I think that we definitely cannot work in a vacuum and we need to know what is happening en masse.
I will definitely continue on blogging and I want to practice tagging as part of blogging because I think that is a great "librarian" habit to have!
Finally, being aware of the habits of our patrons is critical. I thought it was so wonderful when Gerri pointed out at the AAC meeting that Infosoup is NOT Netflicks. What an "a-ha" moment for me. And what great self-knowledge for when we are encountering a patron who is also a Netflicks fan. The more we know, the more we can compare & contrast it to what else we know!
