I have to remember to get more stuff put up here.
Recap: I"m taking Reference and the Academic Library. I'm so far loving both classes, and even using some of the stuff from those classes in real library settings. Reference especially has been an awesome adventure. I recently interviewed a reference librarian (what I want to be) who was the library liaison to the Humanities, English, Art, Music, Communications, and Theatre. I wanted to kill her and take her job on the spot. Anyway, she was explaining that most librarians who work in the academic field pursue a second masters degree or a PhD in order to comply with tenure requirements and all that jazz.
That brings me to Academic Library. We were discussing tenure on Saturday (which scares me a little, to be honest) and we touched on the fact that tenure is a go or no go kind of thing. If you aren't going for tenure, you're not going to be at the university past that. I don't understand that because one attains tenure after only 7 years. That's not a very long time. Wouldn't you want your faculty to be on staff for a longer amount of time before you were guaranteeing them their positions on campus. I don't know.
Class was a real manic day yesterday too. We had a lot of conversations about lots of things. I was a little irritated. Thankfully, the next class is on Halloween so there will at least me treats....and costumes.
And finally, without further ado, the library makes it way to Glee.
