Picture Post (Day 2): Library Day in the Life Project Round 6

Tuesday, January 25...in pictures!  








7:50-8:15 a.m.
Walked a mile to campus; entered the library!  The entrance is the building on the left, after you would pass under the bridge.

8:15-8:45 a.m.
Opened the shades in my office, checked (and answered) email, made tea, and mentally prepared for the day!  Reference desk shift starts at 9 a.m....

9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.
Reference Desk shift!  Answered questions (mostly about the location of the printers and reserve items), did some collection development (hence selection tools pictured), updated my professional development blog, and worked on class preparation.





 12:00-12:15 p.m.--Lunch, upload pictures to blog (sorry, no pictures of the picture uploading!)

12:20-1:45 p.m.
Taught another section of HNFE 4004 in one of Newman Library's instruction classrooms.  For a class meeting right after lunch, the students were pretty attentive!

1:45-1:55 p.m.
Ventured across campus to Wallace Hall, home of the Human Nutrition, Foods and Exercise (HNFE) Dept.  It was 48 degrees at the time--hard to believe we're supposed to have 4-8" of snow by tomorrow.

2:00-3:30 p.m.
Held librarian office hours for HNFE in the Wallace Atrium.  First session of the semester.  The visibility seems to be good--actually had a student come in for a consultation!  That little sign in the corner says "Rebecca Miller, HNFE Librarian"

3:45 p.m.-3:55 p.m.
Took Blacksburg Transit bus to an off-campus meeting (at Panera!) to discuss a co-authored book chapter.  Although I have a car, it's nice that Blacksburg is so pedestrian and public transportation friendly.

4:00-5:20(ish) p.m.
Met in Panera with two colleagues, and co-authors, to outline a book chapter.  I was left to guard the table while the others went to find snacks to fuel the creative process.  They did, and we were successful.

5:30 p.m.
Back in the office, watching the campus empty out for the day. Checking (and answering) email, uploading pictures, finishing this blog post, and preparing for my two classes tomorrow.  Definitely heading home soon--whew!






Tomorrow I'll write another text-based post, and then perhaps another picture post on Thursday!  Stay tuned...
