information overload...
So I read Dot Calm yesterday while I was getting my oil changed [there was a bit of a wait, and I'm a pretty fast reader], and let me just say that I wasn't impressed. I guess I was just expecting more than the obvious "turn off the cell phone" and "take time to meditate" as help for getting away from the "wired world".
My problem is, I'm flooded with so much information, and I have trouble weeding it out. I'm on almost all the major library listervs [as a lurker, mind you], and have well over 200 RSS feeds coming to me daily. And my problem is, I WANT to read all of it! I'm still learning about all the facets of this profession; I guess I think by reading everything out there, I'll learn what direction I want to go when I'm done with my LIS degree. It's just becoming difficult to keep up.
So when I find a book that gives more practical advice, I'll let you know.
Or do you know of anything helpful? I'd love to read it!
