READ “ABOUT” FIRST

This is a “blog formatted story” and therefore, best read in reverse (i.e. chronological) order …. It was recorded in real time but was published post-employment for obvious reasons… There are lessons to be learned from all of our experiences…

New Job – Yea!

I’m very excited about the new job in Library. It should be both challenging and fun. This is my first job in librarianship other than the job I had as a student – which I enjoyed. My first meetings with other faculty members were at the interview. I was encouraged to hear that the library group works as a team, and that innovation and new ideas are very much supported. I would expect nothing less from those in a profession known to strongly advocate:

• freedom of information
• freedom of ideas
• and freedom of creative expression.

Other faculty at the university seem to be content here. I am not sure if that is representative of all faculty or just the group that tends to be involved in “public relations” types of events.
