Catching up after a holiday

Well, I've been away on  holiday and am trying to catch up with my 23 things and getting to grips with everything that has happened whilst I have been away. Mostly to do with the restructure of the department due to budget cuts. It is all moving very fast and it seems that soon I will know what I can apply for in the brave new world!
Anyway I have been looking at other blogs and have read encouraging blogs about refurbs and new installations of self service. I am also trying a bit of tweeting. I was pleased to get a follower on Twitter even though I'm not sure who it is or why I have been chosen!

Well I've got this far!

I've been working in libraries in Cornwall since 1992, after working in local government.
I started as a Senior Library Assistant and am now a library manager
I completed my chartership in January 2010 and in the same month was seconded to the role of Library Group Coordinator. This involves operational management of nine libraries in Cornwall, which can be a challenge!
19 of Cornwall's 32 libraries have RFID self service, which we implemented in 2007/8.
I am responsible for managing smartsm for the county - an electronic stock management system. It has had a huge impact on the way we work with our stock and  I have great fun using the various tools.

That's all for my first ever blog. I'm looking forward to getting involved with Cpd23
