here we go...
Nov. 7th, 2006 07:16 pmI answered a real reference question today! Well more like sort of did a kid's work for him, but that counts right?
In any case, the main piece of theatre today is the copier. See, apparently we're getting one of those nifty card readers slapped onto our new copier. This means everyone now has to pay for their copies. And by everyone, I mean students. This has meant that the guy from the copy machine company has een here for two hours now trying to figure out how to program this thing and asking basic questions like "how much are you going to charge for a copy?" which leave me dumbfounded because no one bothered to tell me and now they're all out on some kind of permanent lunch.
But what I'm really looking foward to is when this gets working. It'll mean having money in the library, something we've managed to avoid in the past. I can forsee endless complications with that.
I formerly liked the copier. For one thing, it worked. And for another, it made me feel useful when students had issues with it. I was copier woman! but now it's going to be another thing I have to nag everyone about and keep count of and on top of that I have to handle money. Funny, I thought I became a librarian to escape retail.
