Reading Notes for LIS 620
Monday, March 1st, 2010These chapters cover how to manage a reference department (not that I think the chapter really tells you much of anything!) and how to assess the services the reference department provides.
I can’t get Relient K’s “Who I Am Hates Who I’ve Been” out of my head.

Friday, February 26th, 2010The Failures of Standardized Testing
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010For my School Library class (LIS 654), I did some research on standardized testing and found out that it’s inherently goes against minorities and the poor. At the fourth grade level, for example, only 5% of African American children are up to standards.
I broke Drupal
Monday, February 22nd, 2010Today’s adventure at work involved me completely breaking my Drupal installation. My workbook told me to go ahead and download and install the CCK module. There’s just one little problem: it completely broke my website.

My steps were as follows:
I uploaded the CCK module to my Drupal install and enabled all the options listed under CCK. When I clicked Submit/Save, I got an error 500. So I hit the back button and deselected all the CCK items. Now nearly ALL my administrative tools are gone. I can’t even find the link to put my site back online! This also took out my ability to make new content pages, add/delete modules (there is no longer a link!). I even deleted CCK from my server but still nothing.
Over on the Drupal forums, someone suggested that I “empty the cache tables.” My boyfriend worked with me on this part and in the end the website broke even further. So tomorrow I’m going to delete the whole website and start over again. I’m pretty aggravated.
