Permanent hiatus

I’ve decided to call it a day with this blog. It’s been going for almost 7 years, and has seen me through four jobs, two countries, my wedding, lots of changes in focus, and many many holidays. I started it when I had no idea how to get involved in the profession, and through times when I was far too busy with committees.

I’ve met so many people because of it - thank you all for reading for all these years. I really appreciate all the comments and links and friendships.

Why end now? I just hit a point where I was struggling to find things to post about. And so it’s time to move onto something new, whatever that is. I will be archiving and then selectively removing pages from this blog, but goodness knows that darned Library Songs page is always gonna be here.

The fun continues over at Semantic Library, and Libraries Interact where I will continue to blog.

    It’s a difficult decision to make, but you know when it’s the right one. Thanks for sharing so many great posts over the years, and enjoy the reduced pressure. :)

    Sorry to see it end, but I can understand the reasons. Glad you’ll still be at Semantic Web and Libraries Interact though and good luck in finding what your next direction will be.

    Sorry to see you go,
    but (to look for the positive)
    my blog roll was getting too long anyway.

    Sorry to see this blog go cos it was one of the first library blogs I ever read. On the other hand Semantic Web is a great blog (and I’m biased but so is LINT ;) ) so it’s not as if you’re quitting the ’sphere…

    Thank you all so much :-)

    A side note - the number of subscribers is at an all time high since I closed the blog. Perhaps I should have ended it years ago :-)
