About to read Cameron's 2008 chapter titled, "A process for changing organizational culture." It's only 16 pages long. I'm glad changing culture is so easy!
lol - RepoRat
That's it. - Marie
This model applied to academic libraries in one of my favorite lib-org-culture articles ever: http://crl.acrl.org/content... - RepoRat
^^^ reading this now. - Marie
wow, this is actually very useful for a discussion i'll be leading this afternoon. thanks so much, Repo! - Marie
np! always great to pass on stuff I love. - RepoRat

Just finished my schtick about the library at adjunct faculty orientation. I turned on the lights, started asking them questions, and made bad jokes. They might have been nodding off before, but they aren't now!
Well done! - RepoRat
I'm much more awake now also, I have to say - maʀtha
these poor people are stuck here for 3 hours and everyone is just talk talk talking at them - maʀtha
I'm ready to redesign orientation as a musical - maʀtha
that would be awesome. - Marianne
Excellent. I love it when a plan comes together. Mega-kudos for engaging your audience! - LibrarianOnTheLoose
Not so much with the planning, more about looking people in the eye and having a conversation, and a little fun :) - maʀtha
I can just see it - 3 hours in the dark with power point slides? You are the hero. (Also, terrible faculty development design; faculty prefer to do the talking whenever possible.) - barbara fister
...I dunno, turnabout seems like it ought to be fair play in this situation. (Just kidding: bad pedagogy is bad pedagogy, no matter whose butts are in the seats.) - Catherine Pellegrino
Martha is the best. - laura x
@Catherine and Barbara: exactly! WTF? - maʀtha
We used to have a good new fac orientation that had the attendees rotating between three locations in the library and doing more discussion and meeting people. Now they compressed it into a half day and it's just a series of 10-15 minute presentations and I think it sucks. Good for you for livening it up! - kaijsa
I wish I could get the folks who schedule adjunct orientation to remember to invite me more than 15 minutes before it starts. *sigh* - $tephanie•Cog$ciLibrarian
Your people need an intervention. Sheesh. - barbara fister
Yo Joe. No, go slow.
Congrats Marie. http://collaborativelibrarianship.org/index... Collaborative Marketing for Electronic Resources: A Project Report and Discussion of Implications by Marie Kennedy
Very nice - shared with colleagues at MPOW :) - awd
This was such a fun project! I miss our crazy team of e-resource marketers. - Marie
woo! - Marie

Our IL rubric was just highlighted by someone who is not us! We're famous. Also, panel includes char booth. #libraryfamous
Char Booth, and Deb Gilchrist both reinforce my fan-girl-dom this week. I am a seriously recalcitrant fan-girl, which just goes to show how awesome they are. - lris
Char Booth's visualizing departments and interventions, and Gilchrist's space-planning-based-on-philosophy changed my vision of liaison librarianship. - lris
Now I don't feel so bad for peer-pressuring you into sitting at the front of the room for Deb's panel. I know I stole you away from Meredith. #winning - kaijsa
I need someone to change my vision of liaison librarianship. [edit: that someone is probably me.] - Steele Lawman

#toddlerx learned to turn the knobs on the stove and open the fridge today. I hope this means he'll start doing some of the cooking soon.
You can but hope ;-) - Heleninstitches
You won't like his food creations. =) - Yvonne from FFHound!
Lily
Had a really great time at #acrl2013. Of course, the highlight was seeing Iris and getting to meet Catherine and Meg!
I don't think I've ever been to so many inspiring sessions as I enjoyed at this ACRL. And yet, Lily wins as a highlight. *massive hug* - lris
Geez, that's high praise...but if that conference was any indication, I really like this whole "professional development" thing. (Also huge hug back.) - Lily

you guys, warmaiden is making me fly all the way to rome, italy to meet her.
I am HIGH MAINTENANCE. - ωαřмaiden ❤Marrit Woman❤

Whoa, new Zotero version. http://www.zotero.org/blog...

Today is when I kick myself for not carrying my dSLR with me when the clouds are low and there's fog clinging to the trees. <3 :(
At least you got to see it with your own eyes - Surprisingly Monstrous
True. Yes, I did and I loved every moment. - Zulema ❧ spicy cocoa tart from Android

My afternoon involved seven children aged 3 weeks to 13 years. But I bet it was more fun than your afternoon.

Can I give a shout out to the people who not only lift you up when you are down, but carry you on their backs?
Hellz yeah. Dunno where I'd be without 'em. - RepoRat

Went to the opening of the "Juried Student Exhibit" at the UW. Daughter's paintings were there big as life. Unfortunately, they misspelled her last name on the little card next to the artwork. (On the same order as identifying a Hapsburg as a Hansberg.) But that was all just so much noise when they announced scholarships... AND SHE GOT ONE! WOOT!
Yay! Congratulations! :) - WoH: Professor MOTHRA
Honestly, I'm not bragging, but I'm just so happy for her. She's been working so hard and really needed this recognition of her efforts. I'm really glad that I could be there with her. - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ
congrats - WarLord
Congrats! - Anne Bouey
Yay! That's fabulous! - Mary B: #TeamMonique
We actually don't know how much the scholarship award is, (she can't remember the amount) but hey, it's a scholarship award! - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ
This is the time when it's okay to brag, ya know if your felt like it. :) - Surprisingly Monstrous
Many congratulations! For both her and you :D - Jennifer Dittrich
Woohoo! - Kirsten
Very cool! - LB: #TeamMonique
Very nice, congratulations! - Stephan Planken from iPhone
And afterward as I was telling her how happy and proud I was, she casually says "Yeah, I got one for German, too." As if it were just another piece of everyday news. When I think back to the scholarships I got in college, I don't have to think very long... BECAUSE I NEVER GOT ONE! - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ
AWESOME! Congrats =) - CarlC, spelling expert from Android
Awesome! - Kelli H. from Android

A lot can happen in two weeks. If nothing else I've certainly grown as a supervisor and leader.

welcome to my life. - RepoRat
also, what is this from? - RepoRat
I'm not sure! It's a photocopy of a typewritten manuscript of his from Dec 1988, titled Organizational Culture. - Marie

I just CRUSHED my presentation at work. I've been feeling a little less than stellar and like an awful librarian of late, but maybe this is the start of some new life. And if I can't do the work that I'd like to do here, then I'll just take myself on elsewhere.
You know, the managers among us like to grumble "sometimes the problem is the employee" when we're frustrated, but the converse is true far more often, in my experience: Sometimes the problem is the workplace. If you can't be awesome there, and you can't find a way to make the place be awesome, find somewhere else to be awesome. :) - Jenica
I've been wringing my hands and rocking back and forth thinking, "What can I do, what can I do?" with "One Day More" from Les Miz playing in the background for too long. I'll probably still be in my funk, but at least I'll feel a little more confident about strutting my skills on for someone somewhere else. - Derrick
wants to see Derrick strut his skills ----> - t-ra: not givin up
I'm with T-ra. Also, I just want to see Derrick. - lris
I've got it down considering I've been strutting since I was about two. - Derrick from iPhone
I just imagined Derrick doing the Cabbage Patch. Because that is the picture next to "Derrick is awesome." in my dictionary. - Julian
Dude, you got skills. You just need to find the best place to lay down all that awesomeness. :) - c.a.j.
I choose to believe that at the end of the presenation, D *dropped bow tie* and walked out :D - Johnny from iPhone
Thanks y'all. And I did all of this sans bow tie. :) - Derrick
Goodness. - lris

Darn, now I wish had stayed for the closing.... - Yo Joe. No, go slow.
