Vendor emails are amusing....."I was wondering if you could provide a contact information for the current end-users as we would like to contact each user to get feedback on the products you subscribe to" um....I don't think I can give you all 6273 student emails and all 400+ faculty emails....thanks, though!
Wouldn't you think that two requests for a quote, one copied to a manager, would be sufficient? Nope! Just sent a third (and added another person). Apparently they don't want our money after all!
Interestingly, the vendors I do not want sales/invoices from are the ones who readily send them to me... and th eones I want/need AFSAP take forever

yup. Especially since Apple has started changing video connectors in the past couple of years. One can no longer count on random mac users have the same dongle that you need.

Since I had to borrow a notebook for the three talks I gave at Oregon/Washington Lib Assoc. last week, I brought two copies on two different flash drives, one copy on a CD-R...and I had copies on Dropbox if all else failed. No transparencies, though... [The CD-R was, of course, wholly useless: the lender was an Ultrabook and those have the same number of optical drives as Mac Airs or whatever Mac's thinnest notebooks are called. The first flash drive worked jes' fine.]

It was interesting that at the OpenStack Summit, every presenter that I saw used a Mac (even the guys from HP), but only about half of the audience had them.

that's because OS X is commercially supported Unix, so developers use it, when Linux isn't an option, for whatever reason

#saturdaylibrarian. Almost solo librarian due to the marathon and the massive rain. That would have been fun. Now there are 2 of us to run a 3 story, 2 circ desk building.
Those were all fake anyway, it turns out.

we could take that faux research methods class or faux management. I took faux management and hated every second of it. prolly would have hated faux research methods too, but in retrospect, I might have learned the difference between average and mean and median.

Research Methods was a required course in my program, but they were going to waive the requirement for me because I came in with a PhD. I was smart enough to know that a PhD in music theory IN NO WAY qualified me to do social science research, so I took the course. It was one of the best courses in my program.

I don't think we had a research methods class. "Advanced Reference" didn't cover that...

With the growing empahasis on assessment, I really wish I had taken stats.....ever. Thinking of picking up a class at work

.@wcorneli I've seen an annual report as a libguide too #tnla13
RT @angelina41: Libraries can be myopic- we forget who our real audience is. Need to reach out instead of having conversations with ourselves. #tnla13#stem
