by Last week was #libday7. This time, I mostly tweeted as it was a relatively quiet week, complete with a vacation day. Here are some highlights though, in case you missed it.
- lots of FYE work. The beginning of August is always Welcome Day time, so there is lots of organizing to do for tours and info booth. Also need to make sure the FYE wiki is up-to-date. This year, they are doing a pseudo one book, one community activity, which I’ve been involved in and am working in supporting. I’m also working on figuring out this year’s swag.
- chatted with a future lib tech student. I love talking with students, seeing their passion and excitement. I tend toward not sugar-coating answers and we have some good frank discussions about librarianship.
- VuFind implementation. I’m part of a group working on getting VuFind up and ready for use. It’s been an interesting experience.
- various miscellaneous duties, including assisting a researcher find information for an upcoming book.
- conference calls for a variety of things, including association duties.
So, that’s the highlights from one of my quieter weeks. If it had been a month ago, it would be a very different list of duties. That’s one of the great things about my job – while there is an underlying goal in all I do (help people find info), the actual duties keep me both interested and busy
