Congrats to those of you who have completed your SLIS drudgery. May you all find fabulous jobs and enjoy life!

Phew! I just gave an impromptu tour of the library and databases to a group of IBC students I was not expecting. Apparently, they were scheduled to meet with a co-worker, but she got scheduled to work at the other branch we now are in charge of because they had someone out.

So, I'm trying right now, at home with a kleenex surgically attached to my nose ( Read more... )
