Whew
Based on discussions from classes, several posts have been cooking in my head, so those will be coming soon. I haven’t had time to post because I had the following things due this week:
- an annotated bibliography of articles in the library literature, which I did focusing on OPAC research over the last five years (thoughts on this forthcoming)
- a reference assignment using encyclopedias and similar reference materials (I loved this)
- a searching assignment using Dialog (I actually didn’t mind its CLI or strange archaic qualities)
- an observation of reference transactions in a library
- a plan for a group project on digital libraries (looks like we’re working with a local university library on some theatre collections; definitely more on this later, too)
Yeah, so I don’t really mind coming to work today, having two meetings and three different projects, because it’s really much less than I had to do earlier in the week. Now I’m “free” this weekend to work at i-fest (a series of events to promote the School of Information Sciences), finish roofing the shed, catch up on my reading, go to a Halloween party…
