What does your PLN look like? You may already have a PLN, just didn’t realize your handful of favorite websites had a name. Share on your blog some of your online resources and what you have gained from them.
My PLN is based on websites, professional networks and personal friendships I have worked with or interact with regularly. I routinely view many publisher sites for news on upcoming titles or trends. I use goodreads, netgalley and edelweiss for ARCs. I also use my own Facebook page to network with other librarians and hear what they are doing that is new or different. My work in TLA has built a great network of people I can seek out for information and ideas.

Lesson 10 Challenge
A patron visits your branch library and they only have $1.50 in their pocket. They are trying to figure out if they can take the bus from your branch to the nearest McDonalds later today because they have an interview. Practice using Google Maps directions and write in your blog about how easy/hard it would be to get to their interview by bus and about how much time it would take.
This was extremely easy since we have a bus stop nearby and are by a major highway. I thought the stop in front of us would be the place to start but a quick search on Google Map suggests walking to the other side of the highway and taking one bus down to the next major street.
This trip, including the 6 minute walk< takes 10 minutes.
The list guides you to the viainfo.net page, this trip would cost 1.30
