Professionalism & Self-Presentation
Today I am pondering issues of professionalism. This has been tugging at my brain for a week or two now, but I’ve been running around at conferences (posts coming soon, hopefully) and haven’t had the clarity to really think it through until now. These are my business cards. I had them made in January and ...
My ACRL 2013 Schedule
I’ve been scrambling to try to collect my thoughts before the delicious and terrifying onslaught that will be ACRL. Now that my poster is printed (see a sneak peek here) and the handouts are almost done, I’ve turned my attention to creating a skeletal schedule to structure my days. I want to have a paper ...
DigCCurr Digital Preservation Symposium
I recently attended the DigCCurr Digital Preservation Symposium at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. The symposium was divided into two parts: Curate Thyself on March 17 and the Digital Curation Education Experts Meeting on the 18th. I flew to Raleigh on Saturday the 16th, arriving at just after noon. I took a (very expensive) ...
ACRL-MAC-HASTAC-LOEX
Despite the best of intentions, I kind of failed at #HLSDITL last week by posting one single post–on Monday. Now I can’t remember what happened last week (or the week before, or the week before). But I do know what’s happening this week! It’s spring break. I’m working 30ish hours at Wells Library over the ...
#HLSDITL – Monday
OMG! I’m the most awful Library Student Day in the Life organizer ever. I didn’t post anything yesterday and hardly tweeted. Here’s a brief overview of my Monday. 9:30-12:15: Information Architecture. We are working on a semester-long project to reimagine the information architecture for a particular website. I’ve chosen the labyrinthine Tibetan Mongolian Buddhist Center ...
Fraud / Soul Searching
Lately, my morale has not been good. And when I say it hasn’t been good, that’s me being generous because it’s so bare bones right now. I don’t really like feeling this way but I’m also trying to give myself a little time to feel it, dissect it, become better because of it. Reflection is good, ...
Library (Student) Day in the Life: Friday
7:10am – Wake up. Unfortunately, I don’t exactly feel refreshed and ready to face the day. I’m tired. 7:39am – Catch the bus. I had tried to find my parka in my apartment before realizing, oh yeah–I left in in my car. Brilliant move, but it goes to show how unseriously I take Indiana winters. ...
Library (Student) Day in the Life: Thursday
7:30am – Wake up for the second time (first awakening was due to Francine, back to her scratching ways) 8:19am – Catch the bus with the LSB yet again. I swear, this never happens. 8:30am – Time for a very short stay at Avalon. I pull together a blog post about our latest software demo and ...
Library (Student) Day in the Life: Wednesday
1am – Fell asleep a mere 15 minutes ago but am awoken abruptly by a text message weather alert notifying me of a tornado watch. Moments later, the eerie sirens start. I check the doppler on my smartphone. It doesn’t look too bad (nothing like the sickly green sky portending an actual tornado less than half a mile ...
