Post 23: Back to School

Back to school today and its amazing how a week can erase so much!  If I hadn't written a list of notes to myself, I would have forgotten all the things I needed to do as soon as I got back.  It's good that I know myself so well that I prepare in advance for forgetting.

My biggest problem this morning was the smell that hit me when I walked through the front door of the library.  It was strongly reminiscent of something animal, decomposing.  There were the usual jokes about 'the body in the library' from  every second person who came in.  Unfortunately, the body was never found and I expect to open the door again tomorrow morning and be met by the same, overwhelming stench!

So, today was spent doing all those little jobs that pile up over a holiday and all those jobs that come in at the last minute because teachers forgot before the holiday and need them done right away. Luckily, that part of it wasn't too bad.  I had a request for a libguide on Renaissance people (artists, composers, mathematicians, writers, explorers, etc.)  I have a template for creating a generic libguide and add and subtract those items needed or not.  It took me ages to realise that that was to the way to do it rather than to create a new one from scratch each time.  Have a look at the latest libguide if you are interested.  The password will be 'magnolia' and you can access it for the next few days.
