Thing 1: Blogging

Hello! My name is Rose Redwood and I work at The Sage Colleges. I'm really excited to participate in CDLC's learning program. I've been working at the library at our Albany and Troy campuses for the last 10 years. I started out in circulation, then moved to interlibrary loan for a number of years, and then finally to technical services. I am currently the Bibliographic Records Manager. It's quite a mouthful to say. What exactly does my job title mean? I get that question a lot. I do a little of everything technical-related from copy cataloging, to maintaining our book order records, to dabbling in archives. Last year I learned how to digitize images on CONTENTdm, with a little help from my friends Ilka and Susan at CDLC. I do contribute to our library's blog occasionally, so I am glad that blogging on Blogger won't be too difficult to learn. What is difficult is trying to decide how to design the blog. Sometimes I feel we have too many choices which prevent us from making a decision. I am going to keep it simple!
