It’s nice to have the library filled with life again as the students return. I can’t tell you how many have asked if we have their textbooks (we don’t usually carry them). We’ve even rearranged a few things over the break. I’m teaching my first class next Friday, so let the semester begin.

I’m sharing my break to-do list with the world. At the end of break, we’ll see how much I accomplished:

• Change library main page to new design
• Update floor plans on website Done!
• Weed some TAUs
• Import print serials data into SerialsSolutions
• Get server running Apache set up
• More to come.

May your break be as productive as mine!

It’s the last weekend before Finals (they start Friday) and I’m on the desk during what I like to call the “procrastinator’s shift.” Luckily, the students don’t seem to need my help — we’re busy but things are relatively calm. I wonder though, is this the case at every library? PS – Dear Students, please dress more warmly. I don’t think it’s shorts weather if you need a hat to keep you warm outside.
