Such a nice summer of reading fun books. Now I‘m back to textbooks, and in the wee hours, too. 😊

so-soInformation was fine if a bit boring. Focus was a bit too much on corporate and government records, which is less applicable to me. A new edition just came out that is likely to be more updated, but I was already almost finished with this.
Not much going on except finals this weekend. I finished my exam this morning. I‘m slogging through my project the next two days. This is one of those classes where I‘ll be glad with an A- (which in my program is 96%).

Cozy Sunday getting some work done. Corgi is supervising. Coffee needs a refill. Dreaming about what it would be like to work for the Library of Congress as all this tedium in metadata and subject analysis is proving to be quite enjoyable for me.
*read in Hermione Granger's voice*: "I checked this out for a big of light reading". ?
Let another semester of librarian school begin! After this semester, I'll have taken enough credits to officially gain certification as a school media specialist. ?? I can't believe it! The funny thing is, I'm not sure that I'll want to leave the classroom for a few more years, but it'll be there when I'm ready. ??
“The MAS [Master of Archival Studies at the University of British Columbia] program is designed to nurture a distinctive disciplinary and professional identity while fostering alliances with other disciplines, partnerships with other departments and faculties at home and in other universities worldwide, and collaboration with other professions. The prestige it has acquired over the years has proven the validity of such an approach.”
I'm honoured to be the recipient of the 2024 Cache Valley Library Association Library Hero Award, presented each January to someone who has given "notable service to libraries in Cache Valley."
I love this organisation and have so much respect for its members and the good work they do in our area. Long may it continue.

It‘s been a week since my degree was conferred — I am officially a credentialed librarian! It‘s one of the best gifts I could have given myself. 💜💛 #lsu #geauxtigers #mlis
