Constant Changes

Well, the library tech. who has been running circulation here at our library has accepted a job and will be leaving us. So, I have been trying to spend as much time with him as possible to learn the ins and outs of what he does each day. Upon his departure, I will be taking on all of the tasks and duties that he is currently responsible for. I have been fortunate to have his help up until this point, freeing me to concentrate on other aspects of my job. I will now turn more of my attention to directing the circulation department.
I have also decided to focus more of my attention on Facebook, rather than Myspace, when it comes to Social Networking sites. I think that it looks more professional and many students seem to be migrating toward Facebook. I should be ready to go live with the Facebook page and our self check-out starting at the beginning of our winter inter-session.

Holidays

In preparation for the end of the semester and the Holidays, I have worked with the circulation staff to clean up our reserves. We have sent notices to all instructors with reserves and have heard back from most about what materials to keep and what to return to them. We have also been preparing for the various holiday parties that will take place next week. All of which should be fun.
As I finish the semester, I have been working hard to plan for the Library 10A course that I will teach during the Winter intersession and during Spring semester. I have written my syllabus and created a web page with links to all assignments and readings. I have also created a wiki that I intend to use with the class. Things are going well as the semester comes to an end, and I am finding myself wiped out at the end of each day. Im looking forward to the break.
