In the evenings, I go through a list of sources that provide pretty regular content for me to link to/work from. That can get a bit tedious. But doing so lets me, when I suddenly get inspired and passionate about something, speak to an audience on short notice.

Great post. I have asked myself this question many times over the last few months, why keep blogging. Who’s reading?

Funnily enough I realised just last week that the habit of blogging and diary writing was filling a personal need.

I went to Sydney to care for an 86 year old aunt who’d just got out of hospital. While there, and without internet of course, I felt compelled to keep a daily diary recording all the ups and downs of her life and my life as short term carer.

So, I think for me, the blogging has set patterns of behaviors in place that will no doubt have other manifestations, later.

Anyway keep blogging, Kathryn. We do enjoy reading your take on libraries and technology.

I have also questioned why we keep blogging as I also noticed many of us going quiet. But in life, it’s good to question why we do things and evaluate if we want to keep doing them, as it shows us if what we are doing has purpose or not.

I am like Jo, your blog teaches me so much, and it’s hard for us to communicate with each other, as you are in Perth and I’m in Melbourne, so your blog allows us to connect and share information.

Please keep blogging, if it still feels right for you, as I get alot out of it and I’m sure many others do too.

Anne – I feel almost like a fogey for still having a blog when so many people are distributed all over the net

Jo – Your clip is just brilliant. I love the way that you look like you are human and enjoying yourselves. And I bet your community really appreciates the way you grounded it with the images of the place at the start – made it very special to me. Gave the message that it wasnt’ “just another library”.

Thanks so much for a very honest look at a very interesting topic. I too started my blog because of the 23 things and use it basically as an information tool about the things that interest me – including library info.

For me personally, your blog has pointed me to much information that I was previously unaware of, and made my learning journey just that bit more thorough. The Edna worksop I attended in Brisbane was due to the post on your blog. I have just completed a digital photo story about my library using some of the skills I learnt at that seminar!!
