My First IRIS Departmental Meeting
Today was a joyous day! I had the opportunity to informed the IRIS Faculty members about my upcoming projects and plans for this rotation. The meeting began with Nigel discussing the upcoming position that will be available. I am excited about the possibilities of what this may mean for my future development as an Academic Librarian. I learned alot about what the dept. is working on and how I am going to make great contributions while completing the duties of my rotation in marketing our services to the student, faculty, staff populations at ND! Sherri's sense of humor knows no bounds.....I look forward to our work we will accomplish during this rotation.

Jessica, Sherri, and I had an AWESOME "pow-wow" session on how we are going to market the results of the survey. My ideas were well-recieved; Jessica will take care of the images, I will take care of the writing style of the marketing tool we are creating to ensure another successful campaign.

ALA/ACRL Committee Work UPDATE!
I am still waiting to hear from one of the Seattle-MidWinter Presenters. I had to miss her presentation due to my attendance at a committee meeting. If anyone out there knows Jennifer Knievel from Colorado.edu, tell her Leslie from Notre Dame needs to hear from her ASAP! I am almost done with my Lit Review for the publication I am a lead editor with. I am so excited. I still have to finish two articles for publication.

My DAILY Shout-Out goes to:
Dr. Richard Pierce for giving me space in his department to market library services to faculty, students, and staff in the O'Shaughnessy Hall!
