summer work (All of what I’m writing tonight is really one entry, broken into different paragraphs, but I’ve decided to separate it into separate postings.) Many bloggers take a summer break. I wasn’t planning on doing such a thing, but it happened any way – hence the lack of the standard announcement of light blogging. As I have mentioned before, the summer seems more busy for me in the law library. Although there’s less reference work, we are expected to do more in the way of summer projects. For me, I prefer the randomness of answering people’s questions – most of whom are very nice to work with. This isn’t to say that all of my summer projects are boring – but they are more work. Working on getting EZProxy working in my library so that our users will be able to authenticate to the proxy server and then access our IP address restricted databases from anywhere. Include entries (with working URLs) for our full-text electronic journals – chiefly available via HeinOnline – into our online library catalogue. Make new floor maps of the library that can be put onto the library website and integrated into the library catalogue. Work with other public services staff on a faculty services handbook. Participating in an IT committee that is investigating portal solutions for the university web site as a whole. Music: Liz Phair, Liz Phair, Why Can’t I? 11:55:42 PM
