Fashion

2013 Professional Resolutions

Even though I am only a lowly library assistant, I also have part time youth services duties. Simply meaning I do the work of a young adult librarian:) I have pretty high standards for myself and though I have been frustrated with myself this year I do have to admit that I have accomplished some goals.

I finished my first year of MLIS program, I joined the ALA, GLA,and YALSA and attended networking events. All of these things were good but pretty basic. For 2013 I would like to add some depth. I don't want to just join an organization or committee but I would like to be an active and useful member. I want to be valuable.

Below are my goals, they are pretty vague but I wanted to leave some wiggle room. I will try to update this blog more regularly to see if I'm actually accomplishing some of these goals.
