I like to hike. When hiking, I enjoy coming upon cairns — piles of rock which help me find my way. They are interesting creations, the products of several people who are helping to lead the way.
I am becoming a librarian. While becoming a librarian, I enjoy coming upon “library cairns” — words of wisdom which help me find my way in the library world. They are interesting creations, the products of several people who are helping to lead the way.
This blog is a collection of the “cairns” I am discovering as I am FINDING MY WAY in the library world — ideas, articles, blogs, discussions, tools, and more — as well as a few of my own comments ( or “confessions”). Mainly, I want to create a repository of all the great information out there about the future of libraries so that I will have markers to follow as I am finding my way as a librarian.
Of course, I hope that others who are interested in going in the same direction might find the information in this blog helpful. And just as real cairns are created by more than one person, I hope that others will add their “rocks” in the form of comments, suggestions, links, and more. My thanks to you in advance.
And, just in case you didn’t notice, “cairn” sounds like “Karen”
