9 to 5 non stop

Ever have one of those days when you are booked for meetings from the moment you step into your office until the moment you go home? Today was one of those days. We have been working very hard to improve our services and evaluate our results through statistical data in order to provide the sort of "every experience matters" service that will help our faculty and students do well in their work.

It requires tons of behind the scenes planning, learning to use new resources, massaging the wrinkles out of new services, being honest with ourselves about how things are or are not working. It is downright tiring at times. Rather like running on a treadmill for hours to lose a half a pound. But then you get the breakthroughs that make it all worth while.

Today when I came into the library, I was greeted by a huge banner hung from the balcony that reads:

B. Thomas Golisano Library: Academic Library of the Year

Complete with the RRLC seal and logo. Oh, yeah! Our students and faculty voted us as top notch. That's why we keep having days of meetings from one end to the other. That's why we keep working to do better even though we do well. Because our students and faculty need a great resource to help with their academic endeavors, and they appreciate us!

Still, I'm kinda glad its Friday and I get to rest up a bit tomorrow!
