There's still hope!
The frenetic pace of information literacy classes for the Fall semester has all but come to a close. Four more come to the library next week, and then I'm home-free... until it starts all over again in the Spring. *sigh* If I ever had any doubt about teaching being my life's work, this past semester signed, sealed and delivered the verdict for me--I WAS NOT MEANT TO TEACH!!!! I didn't even know that librarians were expected to teach until near the end of grad school. But like I was honestly divulging to a seasoned colleague earlier today, I wouldn't have thought twice about a degree in library science had there been no medical option available to me. That's where my heart is centered: medical/health science.
Speaking of which, God has granted me a window to incorporate my first love into my present library work. Through a series of carefully planned events and actions (both human and supernatural), I was able to link up with an authority figure of a librarian's professional organization who heads up a health information project. God showed me where there was a dearth of information that I could assist in filling and *voila*! I was extended an invitation to collaborate on this medical information project!!! Hallelujah! [Now all I have to do is find the time to spend on this while still getting all my 'real' work done... it never ends.] But I really am excited about the prospect of putting some of my "medlib" skills to work. Methinks I am a tad bit rusty after not being able to flex my medical muscles over the past year or so. That shall soon come to an end. ;o)
