Blog Love: LLRX.com

reposting from 3/2/12. And I loved CiL this year I am quite excited about this year’s Computers in Libraries conference and happy that I will be able to attend at least one of the days. It reminded me of my first CIL conference several years ago in DC when I had the pleasure of taking…

Safe and Sound

We had a bit of a scare on Saturday. Our little Toyota Corolla was sideswiped by a semi truck on 495N on Saturday just before 6pm when we were returning from a daytrip to Fredericksburg, VA. We are so lucky that all we lost was the front bumper of our car, some of the front…

Gone to look for America

We just got back from a whirlwind four day trip from suburban DC (MD) to Chattanooga, Nashville, Memphis, Little Rock, back to Memphis, St Louis, Charleston and back home again. 3,000 miles later we are madly addicted to the open road. Perhaps there is some way we can combine trucking and librarianship? We spent this…

On Volunteering

One of those days

by Ann Davis “One of those days” seems to occur more and more frequently when un(der)employed and career hunting. More often than I’d like to admit, the inner 6-year-old in me wants to stand up on a table and scream, “Life is not fair! When will it be MY turn?! This is NOT what was…

Must Follow: Archives Gig

When I first began working on the daily INALJ jobs email it was less than 20 pages long in no small part because I had no idea about the wealth of resources available for librarians, library staff, archivists and other information professionals seeking work.
