I may be a rookie when it comes to blogging and web site design, but I am going to work hard to improve this lil' project of mine. In addition to this blog, I plan to continue gaining experience in librarianship. A few of my goals for the new year:
1. Continue posting to the blog twice a week.
2. Improve the look and layout of the blog so it gets away from the "template" look.
3. Continue to improve XHTML/CSS skills.
4. Increase volunteer time at the Corvallis Public Library to twice a week.
5. Get involved with the Albany Public Library.
6. Increase number of reference questions answered through IPL.
7. Become proficient in GIMP (Gnu Image Manipulation Program).
8. Continue working on MLIS specializations in leadership/management and reference.
9. Continue to fine-tune web authoring ability. Take CS 195/295 (intro to web authoring/ intermediate web authoring) through Oregon State University (spring 09/fall 09).
10. Join OLA.
11. Do an internship this summer.

Lindy -
LIS 5362 is a great overview of XHTML & CSS if you have time or $$$ or room to take it. It was a lot of work, although there are talks of the course structure changing for Summer 09. There's also an advanced web apps class as well.
Good luck with your resolutions!
Thanks Sara! I actually took LIS 5362 over the summer. LIS 5362 is what inspired me to continue learning about XHTML and CSS. Several people in the class also took (and recommended) LIS 5313 (design & production of media resources). I ended up taking 5313 this past fall and loved it.
Now that I have created a blog, I want to incorporate what I've learned from both classes.
BTW, Looks like we might see each other in a class this spring!
