My first post

This is my first blog post; it’s been awhile since I’ve done anything like this. I am doing this for an assignment for my online SLIS class. I’m a little confused on exactly where I’m supposed to be looking for my source of inspiration for my posts but I think I figured part of it out. We were given a few links to lists of blogs and I found several that were interesting to me but many of them were not current. I want to be a school media specialist, which is a librarian in an elementary, jr. high, or high school. I was trying to find blog groups for media specialists so I could not only do some networking but also learn the truth of what it’s like being a media specialist in a school, the trials that they face, and how to overcome them. The ones that were old still gave me some insight; I just wish that I could contact the people to ask questions. On Bloglines, I’ve not quite figured out how to search by topic, or search at all for that matter. It seems like everything is pre-set and cannot be filtered. It’s been a frustrating process so far but I hope to figure it out soon so I can learn how all of this works.
