I took these notes today as part of The Day in the Life project, if you would like to read more please see the wiki, if you’re interested in how it all got started read this post My title is Digital Branch Manager, I work for system that serves 4 counties with 8 branches (9 counting mine). In the morning before work with coffee in hand I turn on my PC to check Facebook, Twitter & my gmail account. I see a trackback to my transliteracy page so I check out the post, Sunday Night Ponderance from Andy Woodworth. I leave a comment with my 2 cents and resolve to finish the new transliteracy slideshow by the end of the week so I can post it next Monday. I proof read my post on the echo chamber, set to publish later in the day. First thing I do at work is review my notes from last Friday and create the day’s to-do list. I then proceed to: update the website including adding job seekers page, created by staff hand out monkeys email director about borrowing her nook to make videos on using ebooks check on day in the life – wow! holy hash

Library Day in the Life Round 4, January 2010

Yes it’s that time again, time to start thinking about participating in the Library Day in the Life Project.  Will you blog, Twitter, take photos, or show video? or some combination of all? For those of you not familiar with the project in a nutshell library works of all types document a day or a week of their work life. You can check out the original blog post, my explanation of why I do it, or the wiki for more info. Due to the high number of participants in July 2009 I’ve made some changes to the wiki  hopefully will create a little order for those trying to follow along.  I moved the previous list off the front page to its own page. I created a new page for Round 4 January 2010 and added a number column to the table. I also made some changes to the format based on my observations from the last round. Include your job title & type of library in your blog post or video to help readers For the Twitters a hash tag for #libday4 (if you have a better one let me know, speak now or forever hold your peace). Round 4 of the Library Day

Day in the life of a Librarian Day 4

July 31, 2009

Thursday was a rather unremarkable day for me, so I’ll spare you most of the details Checked email, tried to post notes from Day in the Life, but thanks to Dreamhost my site has been down most of the week. Unhappy does not do justice to my mood about this. Got to work, talked with IT, we’re using the multimedia room for the Handheld Librarian conference later today and I’ve never used it before and wanted to be sure I set everything up correctly. Also gave me a chance to ask the staff member to be a part of Super Friends, I’d be missing her all week. She said yes – excellent now we have one member of IT on board. Room set up and then back to my office. A staff member brought me peaches! Lots to do today but a lot of time will be taken up with Handheld. Spent most of my day in the Multimedia room for the Conference, we had some trouble getting in as I understand a lot of people did. Wrote a post on my blog for library staff Took the boys for a long walk even though it was sprinkling the whole

First thing in the morning, prepare for and attend Branch Manager meeting at our Mildred L. Terry Branch.

Grab something to eat on the way back my office check email, check twitter Teen Programs Meeting – I’m there to find out what they need/want from a Digital Branch, good information Run downstairs between meetings to check on something for tomorrow, run into a staff member I want to be a member of Super Friends, talk with him about it, he’s in! Hurray! Database Committee Meeting- we’re looking at what we have and what we need to add over the next year. It goes really well. Grab peaches on

Day in the Life of Me – Day 2

I took these notes today as part of The Day in the Life project, if you would like to read more please see the wiki, if you’re interested in how it all got started read this post Wake up before the alarm, whats up with that? Coffee, email, Twitter, Facebook Discovered email response from a comment I left on a Day in the Life blog last night asking about the recipe for roasted peach ice cream – hurray! I will SO be making this this weekend Check calendar and weather before leaving for work, only one meeting, lets hope it stays that way, and its supposed to rain, scrap original outfit that include purple suede pumps (suede and rain are not friends) Add a couple of things to my Alice.com shopping list, hope I get to 6  (free shipping for 6 or more items) before I run out of contact solution. I’ve used Alice.com twice and so far I love it, I compared prices on my first order to Target and Alice was cheaper on everything but canned dog food. Plus using it keeps me out of Target and away from impulse buys, that’s a money saving win right there. Arrive at work,
