Last week I took part in the Library Day in the Life project, a bi-annual event whereby information professionals across the world share their working day. They do this via blog posts, photos, videos or whatever other medium they wish to use. This year I decided to publish daily blog posts describing my days, as well as tweeting and adding images to Flickr. As last week saw the build-up to the first National Libraries Day, my posts covered not only my day-to-day routine, but also preparations for the day itself and some of the things that I was doing for Voices for the Library.
This year I have also tried something a little different – I Storified my week. However, rather than just provide a comprehensive account of everything that happened during the week, I decided to create a kind of summary that provides examples of the kinds of things I do every week. I thought (perhaps foolishly!), that this might be more interesting than ploughing through loads of blog posts and photos and it also has the advantage of capturing some of my tweets. I had intended on posting this on my Tumblr blog but, for whatever reason, it wouldn’t export the Storify, so I’ve posted it here.
So, here is my week in the life…
