First post: #1, #2, and #3

Hi there, blogosphere! I've been reading blogs for years, and now I have my own. Over the next few months, I'll be discussing my experiences as I participate in Infopeople's 23 Things Challenge. Sounds like fun!

So far, I've fulfilled item #1 by reading the challenge FAQ. To ensure my eligibility for participation, I plan on viewing the archived webcast on Web 2.0 when it becomes available, and will post my thoughts on it at that time. Creating my blog, making this post, and registering it with the challenge fulfills items #2 and #3.

I should probably introduce myself. I'm a recent library school grad, enjoying my first professional position as a children's librarian in Southern California. I love it! My professional interests include reference, instruction, and using current and emerging technologies to reach library users. In my spare time, I enjoy photography, travel, shopping, aimless Web surfing, and finding really good restaurants. Oh, and- surprise, surprise- I read lots of children's and young adult books! They're my favorite type of books to read.

I'm really excited about the way people are using Web 2.0, so I'm looking forward to exploring these new technologies in a structured way through the 23 Things Challenge.
