We have gotten through the first two weeks of Spring Semester, and it was Hell!!!! With the economic downturn, the library and the college as a whole are seeing way more students. Comparing the first two weeks of this Spring to Spring '08, we saw an increase in gate count of 14% or 15,228 patrons. We also managed this time while short staffed due to medical leave of some of our team.
Now, as things calm down, I can focus on other matters. We are currently doing our best to reduce thefts in the library and a reporter from the Star News came to the library to do a story on this. Our Library Tech. II recognized one thief we had a photo of and was able to contact police and have him apprehended.
Personally I will now return to my work on Counting Opinions, which is still not up and running. I have made some appointments with my contact there requesting further training and hopefully by Spring Break , we will be using this product. I am also planning to teach LIB 10A for the 3rd time and hope to improve on the last two efforts.
I will unfortuneatly miss the ACRL and many other conference opportunities for personal matters, but look forward to going in the future.
