10:13 am - What Words Rhyme With Buried Alive
The only thing I was excited about on the way to work this morning was the relatively short number of days left until I get my paycheck.

So we have this Computer Management System, which allows people to sign up for the Internet "all by themselves", but many patrons don't really know how self-service works. They continue to come ask me if they can use a PC, much like a child asks to go to the bathroom, and I constantly remind people that they can just scan their card, type in a password, and glance at the fancy flat panel queue screen to see which PC is reserved for them.

What would be really neat is if the City decided to give pay raises for the upcoming fiscal year.

This is my library-related outlet.  If you were added to this friends list it's because I figured you might want to read this.  The good parts are "friends-only" protected entries, so get a livejournal account if you don't already have one.

Why and How to Use Blogs to Promote Your Library's Services

"Librarians have had to learn how to do a lot with just a little in order to promote awareness of their programs and services. They have seized the opportunities to market libraries in the real world via traditional media: newspapers, corporate newsletters, radio, and TV. Many libraries produce brochures, pathfinders, and their own newsletters. So it is no surprise to see librarians stepping up to the plate and spreading the word online with blogs. Savvy librarians have identified blogs as another means to market libraries and their services."
