Reading a lot of the LIS literature so you don't have to since 2005. Here I try to reflect about librarianship, my work, literacy, stuff I read, and a few other academic things. For book reviews and other miscellaneous things, visit my other blog, The Itinerant Librarian.

Como un escolar sencillo,
En el canario amarillo,
Que tiene el ojo tan negro!"-- José MartÃ

Another day at the reference desk...or, what was that question again?
What I find exciting about working at the Information Desk are the many different questions that students and patrons can come up with. For instance, this morning, I have answered a question on treatment of women during the Romantic period for a British lit. student, and I answered another one on bisexual married men for a psychology student. The second question caused another student seated at a computer nearby to turn her head and stare in my direction as I was conducting the reference interview with the psychology student. Needless to say, she turned away quickly when the the student and I looked back at her and smiled. I bet that woke her up. At any rate, we did find her some articles using Academic Search Premier and PsychArticles, so she should be ok.
