…the course outline for “The Public Library In The Community” (see below) gets you overly excited! Anybody know anything about this prof? E-mail me off-blog with any thoughts (but she'd have to be pure evil to keep me from taking this class. ) The course information session is tomorrow and I hope to post some […]
I don't know if I've had a day in the last six-plus months where library school didn't occupy my mind at least partly – either becasue I was thinking about it heavily or it was lurking in the back of my mind. Today was close though. I have no pressing assignments so I went down […]
Instant MessagingI am back on instant messaging. After using IM quite a bit in the heyday of ICQ, I got away from it for a variety of reasons (no friends mainly ) but after being asked for my MSN info by a colleague today (and also attempting to do a virtual reference exercise last week […]
This is a bit retroactive but yesterday, I e-mailed Marco D'Andrea, a first term student to thank him for an invite to his party on July 18 and apologise for not being able to make it (afternoon nap = evening spent doing pressing homework instead of evening = partying with first-term cohort.)

I have no idea how they do things) and as of Wednesday afternoon, am the new, incoming Academic Rep for the MLIS Student Council. As with everything in my life (Spirit of Librarianship, whether or not […]
As I sit here at 3:39am on a Sunday night/Monday morning, drinking Corona by myself, I am reminded of the classmate who observed ALA could just as easily drop the “L” from their name and mean the same thing. (In my defence, it is STILL +26 outside and I am having Mexico flashbacks.) Man, what […]
– basic/basically – hopefully – information– interesting– maybe– probably– usefulI can be a decent writer sometimes but man, those crutch words will kill a paper! On the other hand, there are some words and phrases I should use more in library school…– cutter– fake drool– “Go Google yourself!” – “Is Dilbert a scholarly source? Sure…”– […]
Hard to believe but sometimes I have no idea what to write. So maybe I'll just do a stream-of-consciousness thing and see, uhm,…if I'm conscious. Went over to school today to hand in the last section of my Individual Study. Now I just have to put together a presentation and finalize arrangements to present it […]
