What do you think about Lifelong Learning? - wow this is something I struggle with and against (not sure which is more appropriate) almost every day. I love to listen, read, think, discuss, wonder out loud and learn on a wide range of topics... so much so that it is exhausting. I think it is largely the product of my own nature, yes but also the tsunami of information that tantalizes us now days. It so possible to indulge ones interests in a myriad of areas today. There is so much information so readily available, at various levels of complexity. Maybe it is a work related hazard for Librarians. I am finding information on subjects that interest me all the time, too much information to digest; too much information to act upon. I find it excruciating to decide which topic I want to spend my very limited time on. I know I am too inquisitive to ever stop this binge that I seem to survive on but it probably indicates more than ever the value of information specialists (ie Librarians).
PS I feel like the poor donkey
I fully understand your struggle. Definetly a work related hazard for Library staff. Where do we stop?
