I’ve been accepted as a volunteer in the interlibrary loan department of the local library. I’ll be working with the OCLC, which also has a blog, of course, or at least an associated one. But that will have little to do with anything I’ll be working on…
I imagine I’ll be doing grunt cataloguing work — which is great. That’s exactly what I’ve been talking about the past few days. GRUNT GRUNT GRUNT! It’s a tiny first step, but one I am quite enthusiastic about — as it will give me something I have long craved – experience.
Suddenly the days are starting to get filled with little parcels of meaning.
I also received an email today from the Wayne State LIS listserv that alerted me to a three hour discussion panel being held on the 28th: National Security and Academic Freedom: The Impact of the USA Patriot Act on the University. That should be interesting.
Tomorrow I’m going on a golf outing. Bizarre. I suppose that’s the best way to spend tomorrow — with family.
