Ideas Afloat

I showed my blog to my supervisor and she is very excited about creating a blog for circulation. We have several student assistants and their work schedule is even crazier than ours. Email is the only way that we communicate changes with all of them no matter what shift we or they work. However, we have found that they do not really check their school email very often. The idea is that a 'friendly' blog would be more casual and interesting to them. We could post procedure changes or notify them of the next staff party in a creative format. I think we should also have a ticker counting down to Christmas break, spring break, summer break, or any other event that evokes delight. My supervisor and I will probably get started on this project once we get the OK from our reference librarian supervisor.

I've been listening to Prey by Michael Crichton on my commute to work for about a week now. The reader is excellent and the story is rather interesting, although the techie stuff is way over my head. Anyway, I recommend listening to it.
