I iz officially a librarianz! For realz.

I’m terribly behind on posting updates and finishing writing nearly a dozen articles that I have saved, but bear with me, the content is forthcoming. I promise
About a month ago, a posting came through my program general discussion list about GSA positions that were going to became available at the P/K Graduate library and the [...]

Indexing the Internet

Currently, I have a 1.5″ binder that is jammed packed with articles that are assigned in one class. If I were pro-active, this binder would have been completed and sorted at the beginning of the semester over than half-way through but I am the queen of procrastination (or suck at time management, take your pick). [...]

plan of work: next generation librarian

To give you an idea of what my general week is like: I work 32 hours at my job, take nine credit hours of classes and my free time is filled with homework. I’m behind on some, not so behind in others but all of my assignments and etc. are up to date. One [...]

So, You Want To Be A Librarian? Part I

So, You Want To Be A Librarian? is going to be a continual, on-going series on stuff that I should have known about before I applied for lib school. Stuff that I didn’t find out until AFTER I had applied and the rejections AND acceptances started rolling in. Stuff I generally felt would [...]

a brief and quick update.

ARGHHHHHHHHH! Had to take a deep breath there for a moment as I HAVE SO MUCH TO DO AND VERY LITTLE TIME TO DO IT! type of mood. I shouldn’t even be writing at this hour but hey, I’ll sleep when I’m dead.
First up, the image is from the wonderful site indexed, which I’ve [...]

lib schooled: first month impressions.

I have to warn you that I’m currently battling laryngitis, I had a root canal finished today and I’m also PMSing. To say I’m not in a good mood is an understatement. I am also existing on only several hours of sleep at the moment as for some reason I could not get to bed [...]

Librarians engaging in “personal intercourse.”

Day in the life of Lisa, the MLIS candidate:

8:30: Up, walk the dogs, shower, and get ready for the day
9:45: Leave and take Mumsy to the doctors.
10:15: Leave doctors and grab breakfast.
11:20: Drop Mumsy off, grab stuff for the afternoon
12:00-15:00: Interview two ref librarians and then study for the remainder of the time [...]

Future librarian confessions, part I.

To your left you will note a brand spanking new, ink barely dried diploma with my name on it. And it is NOT photoshopped. One MA down, one MLIS to go. Not too shabby from someone who did not finish high school. (I obtained my GED one year after I was to [...]

Those librarians, they sure do know how to party.

[Maintenance note: I've just updated WordPress and my blog theme to the latest and greatest and am still debugging the hell out of it. Things should be back to normal in a day or two. I hope.]
Things for the last month or so have been fairly dramarific and full of chaos. I emotionally and verbally [...]

Tweet tweet: Lisa 2.0 or something very similar.

I’ve been writing online since the mid ’90s. Sometime in 2001, when LiveJournal was still accessible only by invite codes, I snagged a code from someone (unintentionally stealing it from the person it was meant for — not my fault that the originator posted it PUBLICLY!) and started using LiveJournal. For a long time, up [...]
