Well, I’ve been silent for a while now but I’ve decided to come back and take part in Library Day in the Life. It’s been around before but this is my first go at it. I figure it’s good to share what I do, realize what I do, and gives me a great reason to start writing here again. So, here’s my Monday – pretty typical for this time of year for me. Note: I have cheated a bit, in that I tweeted much of what I did, mostly because I figure I’ll forget later. Apologies for the repetition to those who follow me on twitter.
Monday
- start the day by catching up with the library world and the world in general (rss feeds, social networks, news, etc)
- meeting with our teaching with technology group, where we’re looking at library integration into our new blackboard system
- had wikis set up for committees I’m on (thanks Amanda!) and put content in them
- got confirmation of full move to blackboard in fall, which means updating library quiz and helping out faculty as needed
- updated online form for high school instruction requests
- worked on conference proposal
- ate lunch at my desk (bad habit – must break)
- hour shift on im/email reference
- coordinating volunteers for next week’s Welcome Day
- meeting to script out next library video (we’re doing a series which I’ll post more on when they’re all done)
- biked home to avoid nasty looking clouds
Ooh…I’ll be looking for librarians who make their own videos for a program I’m chairing for ALA in the summer. I know you probably don’t go to ALA, but I’ll be curious to see what you guys produce.
I’ll definitely keep you posted and we have been known to attend ALA 🙂
