CPD23: Week 10 - Zotero / Mendeley / CiteULike
It's Week 10 of 23 Things for Professional Development. See our previous post about Nebraska Learns 2.0 joining this new learning program.
This week you will do Thing 14 which looks at tools for managing information.
Thing 14 posits that as librarians we're not just there to help people find information, we can also help them manage it to more easily achieve their goals. This week you will be introduced to three free reference management tools -- Zotero, Mendeley, and CiteULike. Your task is to explore and play with at least one of these tools and then blog about your impressions. How could it help you achieve some of your own goals? How could your new skill help you improve the support you offer your library users? If you're already using one or several of these tools, please share how you're using them.

CPD23: Week 7 - Librarianship training options
It's Week 7 of 23 Things for Professional Development. See our previous post about Nebraska Learns 2.0 joining this new learning program.
This week you will do Thing 10 and Thing 11, which are both on various ways to learn about being a librarian.
Thing 10 discusses routes into librarianship, such as traineeships, degrees and certifications. The post on the CPD23 website is UK-centric, but that's OK. For US participants, it is still very interesting to hear how it works in other countries. And the actual activity for this week works for everyone:
"For this week’s 'Thing' I would like you to blog about your experiences as a librarian so far. Tell us about why you joined the career, where you are now and how you got there and what you are planning to do next. I apologise that this blog post has been rather UK focused and therefore I would love it if our international colleagues out there would blog about their experiences in their countries so we can learn more about routes in librarianship on a global level."
Thing 11 is on Mentoring, and talks about being both a mentor and a mentee.
