I was helpful!

So I just got a call from a student that was having a hard time finding a full-text article about deer population control; she said she had been trying for some time and was not able to find anything. So I did the search with her (me on my end and her on hers) and I was able to walk her through steps on which databases to use and how to get to the articles, We found some that were helpful to her!! :D It felt really good...because she called and I could tell she was frustrated even though she was trying to be nice and control herself. It is moments like this that makes all the sleepless nights and information overload from classes worth it :) because soon this is what I will get to do on a daily basis. 
 

Faculty/Staff Meeting!!

So my life long dream of sitting around a meeting table, drinking coffee, saying 'good good' has been accomplished!! heh, ok so its not that dramatic :) Today we had our faculty/staff meeting and it is always surreal to be part of one for me. I never imagined that I would finally get this far! Participating in budget meetings and planning company events! And yet that is what I did today. The library here at NSU-BA is going to have a thanksgiving potluck lunch and THEN a christmas secret santa/desert potluck. *sigh* The holidays are good.

 

Another Teaching Session!

I do believe I am getting better and more confident with my instructional sessions. Today I had another session I co-taught with for a Reading class. They were future teachers or maybe even librarians who would be in charge of buying class books and building the library collection. The librarian I co-taught with covered the TitleWave database and I covered on how to find books in our catalog and how to request them through ILL if needed.
