Lib Gloss: Thing 21: Apply - some pressure?
http://libgloss.blogspot.com/2011/10/thing-21-apply-some-pressure.html
23 Things for Professional Development and other library-related ponderings. Friday, 21 October 2011. Thing 21: Apply - some pressure? Thing 21 is about applying for jobs: both the preparatory work of considering your strengths and weaknesses (which in many ways is the hardest part of the process) as well as putting together a strong application and giving a good account of yourself at interview. Putting together an application. Make sure your application ticks all of the boxes. Thing 21: Apply - some pr...

Lib Gloss: Thing 18: Workin' on a Groovy Jing
http://libgloss.blogspot.com/2011/10/thing-18-workin-on-groovy-jing.html
23 Things for Professional Development and other library-related ponderings. Sunday, 9 October 2011. Thing 18: Workin' on a Groovy Jing. The worst thing about Jing is that every time I read or hear its name I feel oddly compelled to say "Jings! In a comedy Scotch accent. Everything else about it is pretty tip-top though. I have come across only a couple of hitches when using Jing:. The semi-circular "sun" that's installed at the top of your screen can get in the way slightly if you've got lots of browser...

http://libgloss.blogspot.com/2011/10/thing-20-root-down.html
23 Things for Professional Development and other library-related ponderings. Sunday, 16 October 2011. Thing 20: Root down. For Thing 20 we are directed to the Library Routes.

Lib Gloss: July 2011
http://libgloss.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
23 Things for Professional Development and other library-related ponderings. Saturday, 30 July 2011. Thing 6: Got my mojo networking. Rushes in, wild of eye and hair* Sorrysorrysorrysorry. I know I am ruinously behind on all of my Things. I offer two, only slightly flimsy, excuses. First of all, I have recently been applying for (and getting – squeee! A new job. This meant that time I would have devoted to Thing 5 was instead spent. Anyway, enough of my yakking: online networking, let’s boogie. I thought...

Lib Gloss: Thing 23: Finishing touches
http://libgloss.blogspot.com/2011/10/thing-23-finishing-touches.html
23 Things for Professional Development and other library-related ponderings. Saturday, 22 October 2011. Thing 23: Finishing touches. I think it's fair to say that cpd23 has been a marathon rather than a sprint, so as I stagger across the finish line it's time to wrap myself in the shiny tinfoil blanket of Thing 23 while I sip at the electrolyte-replenishing sports drink of reflection. In an idea shamelessly nicked from Alliteration Station. I decided to create a Wordle. 23 October 2011 at 22:42. Thing 19...

Lib Gloss: September 2011
http://libgloss.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
23 Things for Professional Development and other library-related ponderings. Thursday, 29 September 2011. Thing 15: No conferring. Conferences are brilliant aren't they? You get to take a day (or more! As I have noted previously, I'm terrible for neglecting to follow-up or consolidate any of my learning from training and other events - all the handouts and notes get carefully filed in the bottom of a drawer and I never look at them again. I don't wish to come across all "chippy Northerner", but quite oft...
