The Mobile Librarian notes...........
My first Sunday evening in Coleman-Morse Hall. Throughout the evening, students have been peering in the doorway to send a smile my way, and pick up the handouts that were provided me from Laurie and Cheri. The new pens are a hit! I gave away about 35 pens away this evening, I answered 4 reference questions and one question via my e-mail. I brought over some more flyers to Coleman-Morse. Tommorow morning, I will be treking over to O'Shay to market this service to students and faculty. I surmise that business will pick up as the weeks go by....I am so glad that I have this opportunity to be here.

Woooo........Hoooo!.....
I am excited about the announcement Nigel sent out on the ULON for a faculty library position that I qualify for. I am fortunate to have colllegial support in and out of the libraries at Notre Dame. I have current & former colleagues sending up many prayers on my behalf. This is a good place for me to further develop my academic career. All of my references have given me the "go-ahead" to list them for contact by the search committee. This is a very important time in my life as an academic librarian.

Another Publishing Opportunity......
I have finished my draft of an article I am submitting to an library journal tommorow morning. This is so exciting..........

My Shout-Outs for the last couple of days:
Laurie, Laura, Dwight, Pascal, Jessica, Dr. Sandy Harmatiuk-First Year Studes; All of you have made the last couple of days a humbling experience for me!
