It felt like today kicked off the start of library instruction “season”.
I has a meeting at the library with the primary department I work with. I was somewhat nervous about standing up in front of people and talking about the wonderous world of library instruction. I have no problem standing up in front of undergrads, but faculty sometimes make me nervous. Especially when they arrive in a horde. And then I thought, “you are just talking to a bunch of faculty and new grad students, they aren’t malignant zombies coming to eat your flesh” and I became much much calmer.
I showed everyone our new ILL system by requesting this book, and that got a laugh.

“You are just talking to a bunch of faculty…, they aren’t malignant zombies coming to eat your flesh.” Clearly this is not an organic chemistry seminar.

No, I would seriously be fearing for my life if I had anything to do with an organic chemistry seminar!
