Well, it’s obviously going to take some time before I manage to start blogging with any kind of regularity. Between stress at home, deadlines and work, and interviewing for a second job to keep us afloat, it’s hard to find the time to sit down in front of the computer. Not to mention the fact that I seem to be spending an awful lot of time at the computer at work these days, so it’s the last thing I want to do when I get home. Pajamas, husband, couch, dogs, cocoa is about all I’m thinking at leaving time.
But I digress. This isn’t about home-me, it’s about library-me. Library-me is very pleased to have reached the end of the summer semesters. I’ve got our federated search kinks worked out (well, almost), over 200 MLA and APA citations created and ready to put online in our database list (ie, How do I cite a CQ Researcher report? Like this!), and an action plan for updating our website as soon as these other projects are behind me. And my colleague has started a library blog for us! Yay! We have all kinds of ideas on how to use it, from creating new book RSS feeds (why, oh, why can’t our ILS do this??) to posting pictures and book reviews from the staff. And of course news and announcements, which is ostensibly what it’s for. I also have a very exciting idea for my next big project. But I haven’t discussed it with my boss yet (or with anyone else for that matter), so I’ll keep you guessing till next time.
