A Day in the Life - Monday

Library Day in the Life.  I participated in the last one (which turns out to have been Round 3) in July '09.   Seems like it was, as they say, only yesterday.  Time Flies. 

In any case, this week'll be a killer.  Expect a lot of posts about systematic review searching and presentation prepping/giving and other random project doing.  I'll continue using the Library Day in the Life to group these posts together.

• Started writing a portion of a report.  Since Fall '09, I've been a member of an article discovery working group - a group tasked by library administration to evaluate a few article discovery tools.  We - the committee members - personally evaluated each of the tools and then ran a successful user survey to, you know, get input from the users.  The report, which is due at the end of January (this week!), will summarize our findings and ultimately present our Taskers with recommendations.
• Held my weekly liaison office hours in the School of Dentistry (2 hours). 
• Co-chaired a committee meeting comprised of members from both the library and the Office of Medical Education.  We are, as you can imagine, both heavily involved in med-ed, yet to date have done very little in the way of collaboratin'.  Thus - we're getting together committee-style to make sure we don't continue along this isolated path.
• Finished my section of the report late in the evening.  First draft in Google Docs.
