As my baby gets ready to take his first unassisted steps, I am getting ready to take mine in regards to posting again as the LeapinLibrarian.
These words will sound familiar to any other mother, but my life – and all it’s priorities – changed completely on February 19, 2008. Returning to work and the verrrry fast paced world of IT Management in April made me rethink what I could reasonably expect of myself at work – and in my career beyond work.
Priorities were hashed out, and my job at Wake County Public Libraries took the primary chunk of my time when not with my baby (a tad obvious, right? They are the ones employing me!). And as all things tech continues to march onward, I try to see how my voice can fit in with all the insightful and engaging ones of my fellow Library IT advocates.
And so I begin my journey back to LeapinLibrarian.
Good to see LL back!
I’ve been wondering — is web 2.0 the adolescence of the internet? A time of scope and honing skills rather than just raw growth?
Tough to say where 2.0 falls in the life cycle of the invention.
ditto! Hope all is well. Happy 1st xmas with the little one – how fun!
