End of May Already!!!

I can't believe May has already ended. Spring and Summer are my most favorite seasons, don't like August 'cos it signals the end of Summer. I was just reading ALA Direct and found this interesting CNN story, check it out!

del.icio.us and zotero

I have finally gotten a hang of what I am doing for these assignments. I have been able to link some articles and I am starting to realize how powerful a tool these social bookmarking tools are for the library profession. Presents various ideas for workshops for both faculty and students to train them in the use of these tools. I cannot use Zotero at work though, since we are not allowed by our Systems department to download stuff. I'll see if I can convince them to download Zotero for me. It will be ahandy tool for me.

3rd week

I just had a very busy weekend. I had the first weekend of bibliographic instruction class. The course is very interesting, full of activity which made the day go fast. Had to work Sunday evening also, didn't seem like a long week end for me at.

Holiday weekend

It is not going to be a holiday weekend for me at all. I have an all weekend class till Saturday evening. I hope to learn a lot over the weekend though, it is an instruction class so hope it is going to be full of activity otherwise I don't know how I am going to survive an all day class. I have a class Thurs. night so couldn't join the chat hope those who were able to enjoyed the chat, I'll catch up with the archives.

Google reader

Google reader is very cool, actually I am enjoying using it. This blogging thing is actually fun, I think I am really getting a hang on things now. These first two weeks has been really busy, the 24 hours in a day didn't seem to be enough for me. Anyway I survived, hoorah.

2nd week of LIS 2600

So far I have managed to keep my sanity, that means I'll be able to survive this class. The amount of work involved is daunting. Anyway things are starting to get clearer, now that I have my textbook and all.

Wondering around

I just got back from my travels in Europe the past two weeks during the break, so imagine me coming back to all the stuff we have to set up for LIS 2600. Some of the names sounds Greek to me but hey I'll survive this course. I haven't set up my own blog before. I do occasionally blog on my work blog. It is kind of fascinating though.
