Library Day in the Life

Hi,
This is the first time I've participated in this project, Library Day in a Life. I'm looking forward to reading others blogs and reflecting back over mine at the end of the week.

I'm lucky enough to work in a government special library, four days a week, 9 - 3pm. Today is my at home day.
That said, I am currently studying towards a Bachelor of Information Studies thru Charles Sturt University in Wagga, NSW.  So my day off gives me a chance to work on my assignments, catch up on my reading and to do some research.

I also take time to look at my twitter feed. I often garner some gems of information about new technology, upcoming conferences/meetings and issues other professionals are tackling. I also keep an eye on Facebook as I've "liked" a number of company/organisation pages and I find some useful posts from eg. database vendors about updates and system issues.

I've a couple of emails from scientists that I will need to action in the morning but most of them are follow ups and are aware I'm not about on Mondays. We have a great team of information specialists who look after our "Ask a Librarian" mailbox if an enquiry requires a more immediate response.

Well. Time to do a bit more reading before Masterchef.

I'm looking forward to blogging about my activities at work tomorrow.
