cpd23 Things

I've started this blog to aid my professional development (as a librarian / information professional). I'm following 23 Things for Professional Development and this is the first Thing.

 I'd like this to give me the incentive to explore tools or topics I have not needed to go into yet. As I'm between jobs it's quite hard to get professional development such as conferences and courses due to cost, and yet in theory I should have plenty of time after I've read my email lists and journals.

I've worked in school, national and university libraries and have also maintained websites since 1998. (e.g. http://web.archive.org/web/20000603183833/http://www.netday.net.nz/ - that takes me back!). A more recent focus has been web accessibility.

I'm looking forward to exploring some web Things that I haven't yet used.
