Classes are over for this academic semester, grades are in, and now it’s time to … WORK FAST. During the semester we try to keep our e-resources as stable as possible, so that students have the same experience every time they use a resource. Think of it as a slooooow dance step. When the students are no longer engaged in research our e-resources staff move quick, quick, to make any needed changes to platforms, URLs, and title lists. We’ve only got one week before the summer session begins.

A: review their web presence, realize it is outdated and not currently organized, and spearhead the revision of said web presence.
***
A2: slowly realize the amount of work you’ve agreed to coordinate. sigh, get started.
A3: affirm that the members of your committee/group are fantastic and quite helpful during the crowd-sourced revision process.
A4: celebrate that you are really, truly now part of the committee/group.

P.S. The NISO SUSHI work room will soon look different than it does now.

look at these awesome folder-pocket-file thingies. there’s so much potential space in them! and they keep my articles-to-read that i lug from one place to another tidy, in order, uncrumpled.

i do only have two new ones at the moment. perhaps i need more. does the office supply store staples have gift certificates? if so, my birthday is in july.

Because sometimes usage statistics of e-content brings about more questions than they answer.
