…well, not quite yet! The person who was suppose to be attending Digipalooza is leaving so I am her last minute replacement. Therefore a portion of my day was spent negotiating travel plans and other trip necessities. There were some things that could not be accomplished today so I will have to look to them [...]
While searching for a library job, I subscribed to a number of RSS feeds, mailing lists, and followed accounts on Twitter. This list is geared towards academic/digital libraries since that was the job I was looking for. As I receive more email listings, I will update this post with other locations that I forgot to [...]

I had a meeting with my advisor to discuss the trip to UNC Chapel Hill for [...]
I found these to be amazing. I’m mostly posting it here in my blog so I can reference it later!
Last Tuesday I officially signed off on a meeting as the team leader. Today was my official day of leading a meeting. I was a mess of nerves as I tried to do something I’ve only seen done a couple times before. The new loss prevention lady-in-training told me I did fine. All this only [...]
As I announced on my Twitter account, I was stopped and interviewed by the local television news station before I went into that workshop. I spent about 10 minutes speaking to the camera man/reporter about the job hunt I went under between May and November last year before I gave up. I then decided [...]
