  12. These thoughts brought to you by pondering whether InternetNZ membership & voting could count as an activity.

  13. Ran into a baffling thing today. Our statewide ILL system uses Encore for its online catalog, and if you have a title that includes a boolean term, such as the word not, it automatically recognizes it as a boolean command (even if you didn’t put it in all caps). So for instance, a book called These Are Not The Stories will not come up in a search unless you omit the word not. It seems like there has to be a way to adjust this on the back end!

  22. I wrote the blue call number in my own book! What an experience! #librarylife

  23. Happy Thursday! We get to set up for Dino Yoga this morning, how lucky are we? #LibraryLife

  24. First day back to work after over a week out of office and I managed to not only get through all my email but even cataloged some new items that had arrived! Also heard good news that we got two grants I wrote, just waiting on the third application we have out there, which I'm a little skeptical we'll get. Tomorrow evening is the book launch for our local author project (another grant) and I'm so excited to celebrate the 34 books we helped publish!
