Back from the Holidays and settling in.

I made it back from Rome, and was able to prepare myself for the LIB 10A class I am teaching. The first class was rough because I was still jetlagged, but the second class went much better. I have also taken on much more resposibility with the circulation desk. Ken has moved on to his position as a Librarian at a La Canada library, and I have taken on all of his past duties in addition to my other work and teaching preparation. The first two weeks have been difficult, but I think things will settle down this week. There have been no major problems, and we are preparing to hire some new people to help us out in the Spring.
In other news, I will also be attending 3 different conferences/meetings with professional organizations this semester. I will be attending the SCIL works conference put on by CARL, the CARL south meeting, and a user group meeting for Voyager. In addition to this, I am planning on attending the ALA conference for the first time in June.
