Welcome!

Welcome to the Room of Requirement! I've started this blog as a part of the IU Libraries Learning 2.0 Project. We're trying out different web technologies and other learning tools to help bring ourselves and the IU Libraries into the ever-expanding world of new technology.

Of the 7 1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners, I think the easiest one for me is to accept responsibility for my own learning. It's up to me what I want to learn and also to pay attention to what things I need to learn (even if I don't really want to! ;-) ). The hardest habit is probably viewing problems as challenges. I'm working on that one, though! I do think it's true that you often learn the most from situations that don't go as planned.

I've never hosted a blog before, so please share your comments and suggestions! :-)

P.S. My younger cousin is hoping to go to Swarthmore College in the fall. I just checked out their library site and found this nice blog for getting feedback and responding to patrons: http://trilogy.brynmawr.edu/mt/trinews/2007/01/library_suggestion_book_online.html
