Tonight I am doing my first shift in the college library. I am essentially security rather than a librarian, but getting paid to use the internet/do my PhD means I'm not complaining. 9pm - 2am Wednesdays and Sundays until Christmas.

I did a couple of quarters of night shifts like that when I started here (thankfully not as late as that). I admit I was glad to leave them behind.

My brain doesn't really get going until after dinner, so these are perfect for me. Unfortunately in 2009 I will be replaced by a machine.

Haha, I am in a Faraday Cage here. No wireless, no phone reception. I am using Internet Explorer to type this, which I don't think I've done since the 90s. Good times.
― caek, Wednesday, 8 October 2008 22:27 (fifteen years ago) link
I am actually getting work done and thinking about shit for the first time since the 90s too.

I guess no one has touched those journals in ten years

:-( that's the way our journals are going too I'm afraid.
― Neil S, Tuesday, 4 November 2008 22:08 (fifteen years ago) link
I helped out with clearing a lot of journals over the past few weeks that we have access to via JSTOR. I admit I'm not really sentimental about seeing the print volumes go.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 4 November 2008 22:09 (fifteen years ago) link
I have been doing physics since 1999 and I have needed a print journal once in that time.

I work at a place dedicated to storing those forgotten books, journals, memorabilia donated by long forgotten local-celebrities, etc. Go U of T and it's 4th or so biggest library on the continent.
― Their time's limited, hard rocks, too (mehlt), Tuesday, 4 November 2008 22:52 (fifteen years ago) link
They're actually being skipped, and not sent to offsite storage? I hope somebody's checked the RSL has copies.
(But then I am an incorrigible hoarder)
― device may be used to practice dribbling (a passing spacecadet), Tuesday, 4 November 2008 23:24 (fifteen years ago) link
The RSL has enough copies of these things to control time

Kudos to Virginia Plain and team for being named Library Of The Year.

Thanks; I think we get a pizza party.

Nothing wrong with that!
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 16 June 2009 00:14 (fourteen years ago) link
Just don't handle the books afterwards with greasy pizza fingers! Especially those Library Of America Cheevers.

Does Ari Gold send his daughter there too?

i think the enrollment is primarily nonfictional

Ah yes, that's a sound policy.

Kudos to Virginia Plain and company for the infrastructure upgrade and the new self-scan-and-sort book return system. Sorry about the book buying budget though.

Did any of you guys download the free poster from Carel Press. Also, is there a more active librarian thread?

I'm trying to do a quick research project for my resource-limited, non-profit community senior services agency. It would be a piece of cake if I had EBSCO access but I don't now that I am no longer a student. Anyone out there who could help?
