#librarydayinthelife
I am participating in the Library Day in the Life project. Join us! It’s painless. Me = Data Services and Government Information Librarian.
On Thursdays this summer I have an early morning (7am-9am) radio show on WUAG 103.1, our campus radio station. I’ve been working for the station for a few years–when I was a LIS student I was the Program Manager. Feel free to make requests via Twitter!
In at 9:15 am: Downloaded Evernote to my laptop. Went through some emails. Created Slideshare account for the Library. I’m supposed to be writing, but this will be ones of “those” days.
10:15 am: Now I will start revising our article to send off. Maybe I will be done with it today? We will see!
11:00 am: Lunch with Jimmie John’s to go. On the way ran into the radio station’s General Manager, Jack Bonney. I told him he should start using Twitter as way to get requests!
12:00 pm: Sent email to the campus newspaper asking for promo story on our Game Night. We generally don’t have great responses from them, but maybe this time my contact is good (got it from the radio station General Manager). Figures crossed. Read over Creative Commons workshop notes and sent out reminder email.
1:00 pm: Post lunch zombie state has commenced. I’m going to work on practicum preparation that doesn’t involve thought–only a calculator!
2:00 pm: Creative Commons workshop. We followed the article in CRL&N pretty closely. The only thing we added was an activity for them to think through an appropriate creative commons license for our Irma Minerva’s Audio Magazine with the goal of prompting discussion about the different CC licenses. I think it went well. The part I enjoyed most was playing with Netop School (Do you think the name is purposelessly like Black Ops?) It is software that allows you to capture any computer screen in the room. We let people show off things they found and discuss the details of their CC licensed finding. Pretty fun.
3:15 pm: Met with a former intern, now colleague. We are submitting a chapter proposal. I have to say that I love co-authoring. It makes things more fun!!
4:30 pm: Checking the emails. Found out our online subscription to Europa was canceled even though the Reference Department had canceled the print subscription for the purpose of de-duplication. A bit frustrating honestly. I know times are tough, but communication doesn’t cost!
5:00 pm: Reference desk shift. Let’s see how slow, how slow…
Signing off here. Song for the day is Stereo by Pavement because “Listen to me. I’m on the stereo!”
