After a false start a few months ago, I am restarting this blog from scratch. I want it to be a place where I record my adventures in pursuit of my MLIS, my thoughts on education, gay rights librarianship, and how they go hand in hand, book reviews and reading updates, and occasional meandering musings about life in general. Now, doesn't that sound like a blog you'd love to read?
The update begins with a reflection on grad school. I survived Cataloging & Classification this summer, but barely. I now know (though I strongly suspected beforehand) that I am NOT cut out to be a cataloger. Which is just fine with me. I'll run the library someday, and hire someone to worry about where the commas and semicolons go and what gets capitalized and what doesn't. Yes, that sounds like a good plan.
This semester, however, I am excited by both courses I'm taking--yes, that includes Principles of Searching. I think it will be interesting to find out better ways to help people (students) find what they need. And Multimedia Production will just be fascinating, I think. I loved Info Tech last semester and I'm jazzed to learn even more about web design. My creative muse may have found a new outlet!
That's all for now. I'll be back soon and often, I promise!
