Lifelong Learning exhaustion

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

Introducing me

Even though I am not absolutely new to blogging, it seems more and more that we are being pushed and pulled by every new gizmo that pops up on the internet. We are encouraged to get on board and utilize them to reach out to our Library patrons where they are, in the manner they feel most comfortable with. Well, as much as it makes sense on a logical marketing level, on the human level I surmise that many of us find it exciting yet draining. However this approach worked so well for Obama that I guess if it works as well for the Library sector it will be a good thing. Well here we go on the steep learning curve. I expect I will see you all at the top!
