As part of my course I am writing an essay about Information society and its meaning. It's not an easy concept but as far as I interpret it we live in a society that is strictly correlated with information.
We are bombarded with information, we read, see, touch, and listen constantly to information under different format. We maybe not notice this but we are losing our ability to digest and develop a critical approach about what we know. We prefer reading a quick 'tweet' rather than a long article on a subject just because we do not want to lose what's going next.
Do you notice that we constantly update a page looking for new sensational news? I have a feeling that the time of reflection is shading away.

Be perseverant
I think that whatever a blog is about it is important to keep it updated and up to the latest topics in the field. I am interested in the library and information areas with an eye on the latest technologies.
Why spicy?
Why spicy? Simply because a dull and tasteless food is boring. Why librarian? Because this is what I am. Maybe a young one but surely with a lot of ideas and passion for the librarianship field.
I think the first post should be something like a manifesto of genuine intentions. I am currently studying for a second MA in Library and Information science at University of Aberystwyth (Wales) while working as assistant librarian at the University for the Creative Arts.
I created the blog during a workshop held by my colleague Tony Reeves and to be honest I have been thinking about it since I wrote my last post under my old textile project 'Fedulab'. A lot of things have changed since then, a new full time job in the library field and less time to sew. Shame, but as I like to say 'people change'. I still have a lot of interests in the textile sector even though my job is leading me in a new exciting field that intrigues me.
I love working in the library because I have a direct contact with students and their problems which help me to refine my customer service skill while proactively solve their problems. At the same time I work with a lot of books, artists' books and I have the privilege to catalogue them using specific knowledge about AACR2 rules and MARC21 formats. It is like being a real nerd and I like it.
Hope to have time to upload constantly and gain people in topics.
