    Like many here, I’m working through the different information communities that I feel connected to in some way. I’ve mainly decided to put the communities related to my current job (college students and teachers) as a back up since I know there will be information about them, but I want to use this as a chance to explore something else.

    Right now, I’m getting inspired by hobbies that I’ve gone to my public library for books about (vegetarian cooking and crochet) and times I’ve had questions but didn’t turn to the library (growing succulents and belly dancing). I’ll be thinking more about this and doing some preliminary searches this week to settle into an information community.

    • @esapien this is all good thinking. I know there is good literature out there on the information behaviors and needs of college students and I’ve had many successful papers. Any type of hobby activity is also a good choice because there is broad literature on seriously and enthusiasts.
