Every semester it always takes me a little while to get adjusted to all the public speaking I do once the classes I work with start coming to the library. Today I spoke at a meeting and taught 2 classes in a row this evening, and I am totally drained. I gave out my aim info in one of the classes and a few people giggled, I don’t know if I selected a funny screenname or if they just found the idea of instant messaging a librarian weird. I think it will be an interesting experiment to see if anyone actually instant messages me with library questions. 
I was able to get a little bit of preparation done for a workshop on RSS I’m teaching later this week. It also looks like my department is going to investigate setting up a blog for internal communication, so that’s very cool.
I subscribed to NEWLIB-L several weeks ago, and I’m just finding that listserv a little odd. I’m not sure if its because I’m not “new” enough as a librarian or if I just have a hard time relating to the topics discussed.
I know what you mean about NEWLIB-L. I subscribed for a couple of days and had the same question you did: is it me, because I’ve been a librarian for over a year now, or are topics like “is speech on the Internet truly free?” just not that interesting at this point?
I think some of the abstract stuff that we were in the habit of discussing to death while in library school becomes much less important when you just have to deal with work all day.
I probably should unsubscribe from NEWLIB-L, but there is a train wreck quality to it that I can’t resist.
