Hi. I’m on my way to San Diego in a few hours. It is currently below zero outside with promises to be way below zero when I have to leave and catch my flight. I’ll be staying with friends in San Diego but please swing by a Council Meeting if you’d like to get together during the conference.
Month: January 2004
hi
Hi. I changed some of the stylesheets around a bit to make visited links a little easier to read. No progress on archives yet, but I’m working on it.
new kid on the block
I am enjoying this website already. In the accidental systems librarian vein, meet The Librarian in Black. Self-proclaimed techie gamer librarian chick.
This site was born out of my displeasure at having to wade through dozens of websites, blogs, & RSS feeds related to librarianship, technology, webmastery, and current issues to find those few posts that applied to me as a Tech Librarian. [thanks jessica]
the obligatory not safe for work links
It is becoming apparent that the naked librarian/libraryworker/library patron meme is really starting to, um, spread. This link is safe for work, all subsequent ones are not.
patrons, can’t live with them, can’t ban them permanently from the library
Even though I generally dislike the smarmy tone of much of what appears in Mcsweeney’s, I have been enjoying the occasional Dispatches from a Public Librarian. The content isn’t really much different from what you find on RefGrunt, just the tone is somehow much different.
Later that day I received a call from another librarian at the city’s main library asking if I had had any problems that day with a patron. I said yes, and asked the librarian why. He said the man had come into the main library and filed a complaint against me. I asked if he mentioned coming back after I got off work to beat me up. He had forgotten to mention that. [thanks rob]
