Comments for The Library Adventures of Kiyomi http://libraryadventures.com ~ Libraries, they're addicting.

In my work at the Carter, I generally wear a tie and slacks, but that's because I like to send a good impression. Now, that goes out the window when I am moving books during our off-month, or working with the blueprints in the archives. Those tasks preclude me from wearing nicer stuff. But in general, I think it is important to surprise people just a bit in your dress (by dressing up) and make a good impression.

Thanks for the blog post shout out. I totally agree with number 2 - there's nothing more annoying than having to listen to someone ask 6 questions. Attendees should consider asking questions that add to the overall discussion and saving personal/situational questions for a conversation with the presenter after the session. Plus, that will give you a more personal response and a reason to contact the speaker. Best! -Erin Great advice, Kiyomi! Thanks for the blog post shout out.
