Why I Am Here - The Road to Professional Development

I am quite new to the information and knowledge profession - recently qualified.  Yay more letters after my name!  However I've worked within a government library and in another life a publications centre for some time - not enough to collect a pension!  Why am I doing 23 Things for CPD:

• to move with the times and get to grips with social media and its benefit for me in my day to day work and professional life;    
• to gain more skills and experience - be ready (or catch-up with the web 2.0 revolution);
• to feel confident in using these types of tools e.g. blogging, Twiiter;
• to continue CPD outside conventional forms of training.

Hope the journey is a good one.
