librarian. occasionally a knitter, sewer (sewist?), baker, crafter, reader and even more occasional blogger.
cleaned out a desk drawer and found three unopened chocolate bars. huh.
I think they're mine. I'm sure I left them there. :-) - $tephanie•Cog$ciLibrarian
argh! I just planted things and we have a frost warning for tonight! at least it's stuff in pots, so i can move them to the garage, but still!
Apparently I do a lot of flying to the West Coast :)...

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!
jeezus. privacy, O Vendor, heard of it? we tend to like it around these parts. - RepoRat
Sends the vendor 6,673 emails with a different wrong email address for each one. - Yo. Shark Dog.
send em a bunch of hotmail addys - Rochelle's favorite Royce
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 - awd
I am having similar issues. - kaijsa
Gah! Why does it always end just as it's getting good! #gameofthrones
First rule of presenting with a Mac: always bring your own dongle.
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. - DJF
and for tablets also - maʀtha
And always bring your presentation on USB, just in case even your own dongle doesn't work. - Rebecca Hedreen
so so tempted. - DJF
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.] - Walt Crawford
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. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
that's because OS X is commercially supported Unix, so developers use it, when Linux isn't an option, for whatever reason - DJF from Android
BUT I DON'T HAVE A DONGLE - Headless Gnad Kicker
RT @fakelibstats: 75% of librarians have been asked for directions by locals when on vacation
#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.
"All that basic statistics stuff you learned in library school" errr....what stats stuff I learned in library school?
yeah. It was probably in that non-required "research methods class". I didn't take that class. - ellbeecee
Those were all fake anyway, it turns out. - Meg V. Meg
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. - $tephanie•Cog$ciLibrarian
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. - Catherine Pellegrino
I don't think we had a research methods class. "Advanced Reference" didn't cover that... - Hedgehog
With the growing empahasis on assessment, I really wish I had taken stats.....ever. Thinking of picking up a class at work - ~Courtney F
.@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
Re launch of chat ref at library: "I chat with Walgreens and Staples all the time! This is going to be great!" #tnla13
Your goal is not to go out and succeed. Your goal should be to go out and grow and become the person you're supposed to be. #tnla13
RT @fakelibstats: 14% of attendees missed the 1st program practicing the Lindy Hop for the flash mob at the Chattanooga Choo Choo later #TNLA13
Just discovered that my @fitbit is splitting down the side :(

Work libraries do is preservation of culture #tnla13
