First things first: I've started a Twitter account associated with this blog. You can find me at www.twitter.com/katie_fraser and please do feel free to add me if you have a Twitter account. As it's brand new everything's looking rather sparse, but I've set up this blog to feed in and hopefully it will look more active soon.

Aside from the growing realisation that the amount of coursework in my second semester may well be infinite, things are going well Librarianship-wise. I've been moving a bit further with my dissertation project on Sheffield University's Information Commons and I'm enthusiastic about the opportunity to work with leading practioners and to follow my interests in learning / technologies / spaces into the library field. I submit my initial project proposal at the end of this week, and should have more news soon. In addition I'm launching into some of my coursework - in fact, today I'm supposed to be starting my evidence-based briefing paper on Virtual Research Environments, so I'd better stop being Web 2.0 and start being scholarly. Although the next essay is on Web 2.0 in Education - can I call this research?

Today's photograph was captured at Nottingham Station during one of my early morning trips to Sheffield. The signs had broken down and were going through an immensely entertaining reboot process. I love it when technology accidentally lets us behind the curtain in these ways.
