The interview rush begins

So I'm waiting to hear back about my interview last week.  I have another one next Friday and then yet another the Tuesday after that.  Not that I'm complaining, but putting together presentations for these last two is getting to be difficult.  The topics are so broad that I'm struggling to decide what to discuss.  When you only have 15-20 minutes, you really have to pick and choose.

In more exciting news, my diploma got mailed today.  I got to preview it online and it is super cool looking.  See for yourself!

So now I truly am a MASTER!  Haha!

The Social Media for Public Health site is almost done and I've also been working on some bibliometric comparison between Web of Science and Scopus.  We threw in Google Scholar, too, but we're really interested in WoS and Scopus.  More work on that next week...

The fish game is turning out super cute.  I can't wait to finish it and play, although I'm not sure it'll be done by the time I leave Taubman.  While I'm really excited to start a new chapter in life, I am going to be sad to leave everyone at Taubman.  They've been fantastic.

I should stop procrastinating and get to my presentations.  Keynote, here I come!

I'm a real librarian!

Well, it's been a while, again.  I needed to take all the time I could to finish up coursework, fill out job applications, and spend time with friends before they left town.  Now I'm still in A2, still working at Taubman Health Sciences Library, but now, I'm a real librarian!

That's right, folks, I graduated.  I now have my MSI (Master of Science in Information) with a specialization in Library and Information Services.  I got to wear a super cool hood for graduation.  Also, President Obama came and spoke at the giant commencement in the Big House.  Pretty darn cool!!  The best part of the day, however, was this:

A friend of Steve's was clever and dubbed this picture "Chewbama."  What randomness to spot Chewbacca on the street on our way home from the stadium!

Job applications are going well.  I really feel that my time at Taubman really prepared me to work in most any academic library.  I think that I have been truly blessed here.  Most students don't get the kind of opportunities we get here at Taubman.   A few of us former/current students are even working on writing a journal article.  Cool, huh?

Well, I should get to work!  Hope all of you are staying warm and dry in this cold and rainy May!
