After a lovely four days traveling to, attending, and returning from the state library conference, I returned to work today. I started off the day by e-mailing several librarians and vendors with whom I networked at the conference. One vendor called me by the end of the day, and we actually may get the suite of online preparation tests from them at some point.
I had my office supplies come in! I now have a binder for the daily stats log, a 3-hole-punch, and a DATE STAMP! Self inking, at that!
I got back in touch with the guy from Arizona, and we're taking a couple of hours on Wednesday afternoon to get Voyager up and running. Perhaps then I can get things in the catalog.
The biggest event of today was getting the library website set up. Sarah from St. Louis, at another branch of this chain, is the Libraryguides contact person since our e-resources librarian is on maternity leave. She walked me through setting up the website and I went from there. Because I am an idiot, it took forever for me to get a widget set up with the library facebook and twitter pages. The profile box automatically did that and I had no idea. There went an hour, whoops. I already have a section set up for online resources, and I put in a bunch of government web links.
Interestingly, a local hip hop station is setting up and broadcasting from the college tomorrow morning from 6 to 10. I'm going in early to hang out for a while, and starting work early so I can leave early and get to my junior board meeting. Busy, busy.
