CUL’s Ask A Librarian reference blog

This week I’m the editor-in-charge of the CUL Ask A Librarian reference blog. It’s a project I’ve been involved with for the last year; the blog’s been live for a while now, so these occasional weeks of being responsible for moderating comments and posting questions and answers sent in from the various campus unit libraries are my primary involvement these days. It’s a bit more work on my plate for the week, but it’s worth it: I still think this project’s just as keen as when I joined the working group last summer to help get it up and running.

So, if you’re interested, come by and see questions get answered!

First up: Is there a national association of education directors for unions?

By way of Bruce Baugh’s livejournal, I discovered Worldle: a fun little application that lets you turn texts into (visual) art. I was unable to resist the temptation to so transmogrify my massive planning, marketing, and assessment project from this past Spring:

Also, thanks to all the folks who suggested resources on Drupal! It is greatly appreciated.

Does anyone out there with experience using Drupal have advice on the best way to get started on learning to use it? I’m going to enact my usual game plan (“set up and account and play around”), but if others have better suggetions I’d definitely appreciate them.

Thanks!

(And a note for people who read my previous post: there is a subtle but important different between “narcissistic” and “selfish”.)

I live…

…but post infrequently.

The last two weeks have been very hectic, hence the dearth of posts. I’ve begun work on my internship for school, as well as undertaking the planning of a mission to New Jersey to collect a large collection of books that a friend of the library is kindly donating. The latter is turning out to be… logistically interesting. This is on top of my usual workload, by and large, rather than replacing it.

I’ve also found that my bi-weekly Google Calender posting reminders has transformed from a helpful spur to a crushing reminder of how remiss I’ve been. So, I’m gonna delete them all, start from scratch… and hopefully get back to posting stuff that’s a little less narcissistic than this post.
