Just an observation…
… but have you noticed that none of the decorating books out there focus on personal libraries? You can find literally thousands of books on kitchen, bedroom, bath, and living room design, but nothing about how to design your library.
I’d love to write one and have a photographer show off the various [...]
A new writing goal from now until the end of August
In discussion with others, I’ve made one clear decision for myself in the new few months: I resolve to write and submit for publication at least one article per month from now until the end of August.
I’ve already taken this plan into action by emailing one journal editor with the idea I [...]
Explaining the outward differences between presenting and facilitating
I’ve been struggling to articulate the differences between presenting and facilitating to articulate things clearly in preparation of my materials for the BC Library Conference Pre-Conference session I’m doing, but thankfully Shawna just gave me an expression a few months ago I can use. And suddenly everything clicked and I was even able to [...]

I can’t be the only Reference Librarian that was surprised by the number of reference questions I had this past week about what newspapers my library has and how people can access them! So many people were desperate to know what was going on in Ottawa.
Is it just me or wouldn’t it be really [...]
Keeping a close eye on Ottawa to see how things affect my thesis
Like every other Canadian, my eyes are glued to the CBC website for everything happening in Ottawa. But I have a rather unique reason for watching things so intently.
As you may recall, my thesis for my MEd is about collective agreements and pay equity and Harper’s proposed budget last week included propositions to suspend [...]
Being smarter, more strategic in applying for grants, scholarships, etc. to get the support that I need
I’m having a doozy of a time managing applying for various grants and scholarships. It’s not just the work and the deadlines, I just don’t know what the heck I’m doing. This is a completely new thing for me and the learning curve is killing me.
So, I spent some time over the last [...]
Top 10 trends in the design of academic library homepages for Fall 2008
Lots of academic library websites have undergone big changes this summer, I’ve noticed. It’s all rather exciting! I’d like to highlight the best I’ve seen. I’m also going to do what I can to try and implement a of them for my own library’s website!

For example, Brad just signed up with NiCHE (Network in Canadian History & Environment) http://niche.uwo.ca and they automatically gave him his own blog. Didn’t seem too hard, so why don’t others get into that kind of forum? After all, a lot of associations and organizations were founded on the principle of creating [...]

I’ve come to the realization, after a year of not getting very far on this ole thesis of mine, that I need to make a change in my strategy. I’m finding it impossible to have any energy to deal with it after I get home from work and the summer, which I had planned [...]

No, I haven’t forgotten about my thesis. Yes, I did take a bit of a hiatus, but I’m back on track.
One thing I identified that is tripping me up when it comes to getting this done is I haven’t a place to warehouse all the information I collect on information literacy. I don’t [...]
