Still relevant PPT about personalized homepages

Hard to believe but this PowerPoint presentation (PDF) is almost a year old now… and it’s still relevant… and I still love my personalized homepage in Google.
I’m right now on my first real shift at the Whitehorse Public Library and Jennifer S. is impressed with my PIP so I just had to track down this [...]

What do you think of this PPT template design?

So, I was joking about with my colleagues regarding the panel discussion we’ll be hosting at the BC Library Conference. The little blurb that Sally wrote up to describe our The Social Library: Web 2.0 concept described it as “beyond tea and cookies.” I couldn’t resist. I had to make a PowerPoint [...]

My last shift for Virtual Reference this semester

I feel bad for saying this… almost… YEAH, it’s my last shift for Virtual Reference tonight!!!
I can’t even begin to tell you how hard it has been. And with all the closures of BC academic institutions, it’s quite possible I’ll be the only one on shift tonight.

It’s so much fun to have two male roommates… and inflicting The Bachelor Rome on them!

Okay, I should be embarrassed… but I’m not.
It’s so much fun torturing Brad (my Partner) and Ryan (our roommate and landlord, he lives downstairs). I’m watching the 2 hour finale of The Bachelor Rome and keeping both guys up-to-date. During awkward moments, funny moments, any excuse really, I’m announcing to them what [...]
