So I’m only going to be working at my current job as a librarian for another 4 weeks. Today one of the reference librarians at the desk detected evidence that an instructor for the program I’m responsible for has unleashed students on the library with a poorly-designed library scavenger hunt. It seems like a rather [...] Library 2.0, the New Coke? In this discussion about Library 2.0 and branding, satirical or not, I want to point to one of Bruce Sterling’s talks about the naming of things and his new word spime. Worth a read, if you haven’t seen it already. There’s an interesting discussion going on about the use of [...] I wonder about using videos on library web sites. Many libraries have video virtual tours, but I’m not sure if they ever help anyone find their way in the library. I don’t think that using videos for library instruction works all that well, although I do like the idea of using screencasts that show an [...] I tend to add up my stats when I don’t think I’m going to get many more library instruction requests. Things are going to start to wind down a little bit after this week. Today was my last time having to teach three classes in one day, from now on I’m only scheduled for one [...] Following the tradition of pranks on Halloween, I realized on Monday that I’d managed to trick myself when I added up the number of classes I was teaching this week and figured out that I was teaching 14 classes. That’s a bit too much! There’s no way I could teach that many classes if I [...] I’d been hearing rumors about a horde of composition students with a tricky assignment descending on the reference desk. I ended up helping three of them last night, and boy did they need help – their instructor hadn’t scheduled a library visit and their assignment directed them to find scholarly articles related to a particular [...] Sometimes I’m surprised by the feedback that I’ll get from my classes. We don’t have a very sophisticated assessment program where I work, but we do have an online form that asks the classic couple of questions “What did you learn today?” and “Do you find anything confusing?” I don’t tend to invest this type [...] Usually in the summer I have almost no classes. I tend to try to update online library instuction stuff and plan ahead for next year. The type of classes that I tend to work with over the summer tend to be outside students enrolled in special summer classes. Earlier I taught three classes for students [...] Meeting Dave Sim’s cousin {via} Comics for this week, Flight 2 comes out and I am ashamed to admit that my copy of Flight 1 vanished when I was on an apartment cleaning binge and I haven’t read it yet Texts in Context {via} Notes from Google Scholar blog on ACRL. I can see [...] Meredith Wrote: I read your last post about all of the classes you taught last semester (zoinks!) which now has disappeared. Yeah, I pulled that post because I was worried that it was a little whiny, and when I redid my stats this morning after a good night’s sleep I realized my numbers were off [...] |
