Thing 7

I joined the Scottish Law Librarians Group when I moved up from London to Edinburgh to start a new job. I was new to Scots Law and it was a huge help to me working as a solo librarian in a new city to have support from fellow law librarians.  As well as the formal SLLG meetings I made friends through the group and we still meet up informally.. When I worked in London I was a member of BIALL and continued to be a member in Edinburgh and go to many of the conferences which I really enjoyed and found a good way of keeping in touch.

Thing 6

Well here I am at Thing 6. I already have a Facebook page which I just use for personal stuff eg for posting a few photos etc.  I have recently got a LinkedIn account and, as well as linking with  people I know currently, I have reconnected with some from college days and previous employment which has been interesting.  I am giong to try and keep building up my connections on LinkedIn. The other networks mentioned for Thing 6 I have not used as yet.

Thing 3 to Thing 5

I have been away so just catching up. I have altered my blog page so it looks a bit better and found the library shelves background which I liked on someone else's blog. I do have a Twitter account but still haven't done my first tweet - must try and do this soon.  I use Google reader for the RSS feeds and that is a good way of keeping up with what is happening.
