.thankyou sirexkat*

i know i’ve said it before, but i’ll say it again. twitter has rocked my world when it comes to professional development.

one of the prime examples is the AWESOME Kathryn Greenhill who blogs at librarians matter. i felt like i was a bit in a bubble in terms of my second lifeness, and was unsure how non-US librarians were doing tech stuffs in academia. and then Kathryn introduced herself and was nine kinds of welcoming to me.

since that moment, oh so long ago (maybe 9 months), Kathryn has continued to support me in my craziness and encourage me to keep pushing the LIS envelope.

so i would love to take her for coffee (okay, pints).
and would love to take her for a kick-ass meal.

BUT

she lives in western australia.

so though i think she rawks the kasbah, me and my measley aeroplan points will not get me to oz anytime soon to thank her.

so, to Kathryn, a big SMOOCH to you. and many many thanks for encouraging a library school student to go with what she knows.

    I’m grinning from cheek to cheek. Thank you for your acknowledgment…you do realise that it just encourages people to keep doing what they are doing when you say thank you don’t you?? :)In your case, it’s very easy to say “wow” to what you are doing with LIS stuff …

    It’s two way though. When I’m feeling like *everyone* in libraryland is stuck in the “we won’t do it without training” rut, people like you who just get on and do it make me feel like things are progressing and changing..and in the right direction….

got something to say?
