End of Winter Intersession

Well, I have been so overwhelmed with teaching and running the circulation desk, that I have had no time to write in my blog. I made it to the 3 different conferences and am learning more every day. As to work at the library, I have hired two new student workers for the circulation desk, promoted a worker to a supervisory position, and will complete teaching Library 10A tonight with the Final Exam.
Diana and I are ramping up in preparation for the Spring Semester starting next Tuesday, and this keeps us both very, very busy being down one Library Technician. We are still waiting to see if we will be given the funds to re-hire for Ken's position. I have recently finished the new work schedule, have been adding items to our reserve lists, and with Diana's help am training our two new workers and our new supervisor.
As I stated, tonight I will finish teaching Library 10A and unfortuneatly will not have much time to evaluate my work before I start teaching it again next Thursday. I will have to grade the final exams and final projects in order to get grades turned in on time. It appears that using a Wiki for the web page portion of the class is working. More on that when I am certain. If you would like to see, you can check it out at http://library10ahanson.pbwiki.com/ .
Hopefully I will get back to regular updates. My work as a new librarian really took off after the first semester. I realize how much help I was receiving to ease me into the position. Now, I am quite busy and feeling the pressures of my position. I still enjoy it though, most of the time.
