catching my breath
How can I articulate that the last few months have been an absolute whirlwind of activity?? I'm sure you may have figured that by the uncharacteristic gap between my last post [in October] and this one. But I guess the absence can be fittingly attributed to the gross understatement I'm about to make: being a librarian is HARD!!!!*whew!* My head is still spinning from all that I've learned, attempted and done since taking on this new profession. In a nutshell: I've had a crash orientation to the contents and locations of the collections [since part of my job is 'developing' them], I've 'taught' information literacy/library instruction classes to 100-level students--not to mention teaching...period!--for the first time, EVER, and I've traveled to Atlanta twice in a 3-week time span for one-day professional development workshops.
I'm coming up on my probationary review this week so I can't stay long, but this was just a quick shout to assure all 4 of you that I have not been buried under a cascade of dictionaries. LOL But that would be a funny way for a librarian to go, though. :op
