Completion of Competency task 1

Have now completed Competency task 1, and discovered a few more things, and now looking forward to catching up to complete Comp task 2 and keeping up with task 3 each week for the remainder of term 4.

I wish I had the luxury of being able to study full time.

Favourite library twitter page

Have yet to get into twitter, however, I've just created an account whilst searching for a library twitter page; only found RMIT and State Library of Victoria.

Here is my link to the State Library Twitter page in which I am now following.

Favourite library Facebook page

This is my favourite library Facebook page because the wall contains so much information relating to library and cultural events, and new releases. Flemington library is one of my favourite libraries.

Link to library related blog and why it is my favourite

My favourite library blog is the State Library Arts Blog because it contains so many of my interests like music, film, photography.

Link to library site and why it is my favourite

Favourite Library

This is my favourite libary because it is one of my favourite Melbourne buildings, in which I use to live directly opposite of for over 1 year in the 1990's.

Best I read the task more carefully because it states "favourite library blog".
