I swear to god that I should just change the name of this blog to “Full Circle” and be done with it. I'm seeing echoes everywhere…I went over to school tonight to work on my Special Libraries assignment and bumped into a first-termer who was working with her group on a presentation they have due […]
The two people on student council who would normally run the SoL Award process were both nominated (along with Council chair) so I ended up volunteering to take it over since it was guaranteed I wouldn't be nominated (well, I could be nominated I guess but I wouldn't have been able to accept having won […]
(I wonder if that post heading got a few people doing double takes? ) The course selection meeting was this afternoon and even though I'm finished the program in a couple weeks, I thought about going just to hear what the profs said and hang out with some of the students. Then I realised this […]
“Hypothetical reality” is a term I've come up with to describe a lot of the assignments we're asked to do at library school. Unlike an undergrad English program (for example) where you're given an assignment, you do the research and then write a paper in a pretty straight forward manner, something entirely different often happens […]
Each semester, some students put together the “Book Zine” which is a collection of Top Ten book lists and other randomness. If you haven't submitted yet, you should! It's a great little memento of each semester that also will provide lots of great book suggestions. The deadline has just been extended. Here's the scoop:—Our zine […]
Approximately a year to the day from when I got my acceptance letter to the MLIS program last year, it's another circle closing as I was recently asked to finish off a brochure for incoming students that one of my fellow student council members didn't have time to complete. This brochure will go out with […]
Is it a bad thing when multiple people tell you that you look beat down (or a variation of this – ie. “You look really tired”) within a one week period? I'd heard about the way this program wears you down, especially if you go straight through in three semesters, but was going pretty strong […]
Looking at my stats and realising how many people come here via links from other sites makes me realise that I've been a bit remiss about providing permanent, recirporcal links to the blogs that bring people here or just that I check on a regular basis. Consider that rectified. Somewhere over there<—–…is now a list […]
With apologies to Eminem, one of my favourite things, both at school or in the workplace, is when I lose myself in a project and all of a sudden, two or four or eight hours have passed. Last time I looked at the clock, it was 3am and I was thinking that I should probably […]
If you're an OLA member, you might have received a copy of the 2007 SuperConference program in the mail today. If not, FIMS alum, Jennifer Cyr (aka Canuck Librarian) has a link to the conference program on her blog as well as some thoughts (Jen's on the conference planning committee.)I was able to attend for […]
