I just came across this article on LISNews and thought it looked quite relevant to this project. The author offers his list of four traits that would not only make librarians more effective, but happier and more productive.
1. Openness
2. Responsiveness
3. Collaboration
4. Communication

First post - Thing #3
Hi everyone!!
The habit I am worst at would be most of them, but if I had to choose I think it would be 2 - accepting responsibility for your own learning. I tend to go to training and development sessions that are organised and/or paid for by my organisation and have only recently begun to take more responsibility for my own learning and development. This ranges from professional reading (journals, media articles, books etc), attending conferences and events, networking and basically just actively participating in the LIS profession. This may be due to the fact that I have more spare leisure time now as I know time is a factor, especially at work.
My favourite habit is 7.5 - Play! I can do that....
I am looking forward to seeing everyone's blogs and reading your posts.
