I've been reading a lot of 2010 roundup posts recently. I thought I'd steer clear of the "what have I learnt in 2010?" type post as it would probably just come out sounding trite and clichéd. Instead, I'm doing a roundup of the most interesting things I've read this year. Hopefully this might also be useful to people applying for graduate trainee jobs for next year!
One thing that became very obvious is how I've got a lot better at bookmarking things as I've gone through the year!
Applying for graduate trainee jobs:

Librarians Who LibraryThing, "I want to be a librarian because I love reading"

NPR, Will an Apple Tablet Heat Up E-Book War?
