Faux Professional Development & Snaps

Hi-ho, A Delgado the librarian here, reporting to you LIVE from a Saturday afternoon at the library. I've had one reference question so far (How do you find textbooks?) and then I got some snaps from a student. The student told me that I'd been very helpful. Really, I love hearing that kind of stuff. I've also had the old standard "What time do you close?" questions. Yes everyone, we ARE open today and tomorrow, so please, come on in and check your Facebook accounts before we're closed on Monday.

I've been here for 2 hours so far and during that time I've read my newest Booklist email and found some professional development books to keep my mind wicked fresh with fanciful librarian ideas. I'm actually super excited about Char Booth's new book Reflective Teaching, Effective Learning: Instructional Literacy for Library Educators. I also discovered, hee heee!, a blog of librarian fashion called Librarian Wardrobe. Myself, I'm wearing a nerd shirt that says "Librarians: the original search engine" and has a ginourmous QR code on the back. Ha!

UPDATE:

Oh, Heavens to Betsy, I've just had TWO (2!!) Attachment Saving & Email questions. And I totally geeked out and made the students drive and do everything while I gestured emphatically. Go me!

Since I've never embedded a video before and there's that weird attraction between librarians and cats, I bring you The Onion's...
