PLN - Alaska Libraries and Librarians


Living and working in Alaska offers unique opportunities and uncommon challenges.  Alaskan librarians in general are a tight knit group of talented caring professionals. The sources under this heading help me to keep up with regional issues and find out what is happening up the street at the state library.

Just this week the AkLA (Alaska Library Association) started a google doc for librarians and library staffers to share their various social media nicknames and sites.

I subscribe to the statewide and local chapter listservs "AKLA List" and "juneaulis​t".

I read the Alaskan Librarian Blog written by Daniel Cornwall. This blog covers some library topics and other topics of local interest. When Daniel published a series of posts about our state's specific databases, he agreed to my request to write a guest column for his blog.
