This post is written for Round 7 of the Library Day in the Life, a project started by Bobbi Newman, where librarians across the world share details of their daily activities. The is the 3rd time I am participating. Here are my Round 5, and Round 6 blog posts.
I am the Research and Development Librarian at Kansas State University Libraries, and I work in the Office of Library Planning and Assessment.
Morning - Check and reply emails. Literature review for a QR codes paper/presentation that I am working on with a colleague for the 2011 Brick and Click Library Sympoisum. Our session is called “Putting QR Codes to the Test”.
Afternoon - Two webinars back to back. The first one is on marketing Primo, the new discovery tool that my library will be using. And the 2nd one is an ALA TechSource Workshop called, Delivering Innovative Mobile Services through Your Library, presented by Meredith Farkas, Head of Instructional Services at Portland State University. We cheer when she uses our library’s “Ask a Librarian” page as one of her examples.
Right after the ALA TechSource Workshop, we have a farewell party for our most wonderful colleague, Rachel Crocker, who will be leaving us to attend University of Denver’s graduate program in Peace Studies.
