Stay tuned for my thoughts on attending the OLA Super Conference. I know I’m a bit negligent in creating this post, school’s been keeping me too busy lately!
Also, you might be interested in checking out an advocacy class project on collaborative tagging that I worked on with a fellow classmate, Lisa. The wiki is at http://collaborativetagging.pbwiki.com and I am hoping that over the next few weeks (or maybe months) that I’ll find the time to add in the powerpoint presentation we created as well as an upcoming paper that I’ll be writing on this project too.

Before going into library school I hadn’t realized that for me, becoming a librarian would be a way of life. Today I was working on an essay at a local library where I have never worked and no one knows me, yet I got asked a reference question by someone sitting nearby and happily helped him. Then, the reference desk staff was asking me questions too! So, today I went from writing a statistics essay to figuring out who the alderman was for the gentleman sitting near me and then figuring out where to find pictures of thatched roof cottages in England for the reference desk at a small branch library. I was happy for the distraction from statistics and happy to be able to help out. Being a librarian is great and it always feels so great when I can help find them the information they need. Its always good to make contacts too and helping people is a way for me to meet new contacts.
