It's Tuesday. Do you know where your librarian is?

I had to spend only an hour on the reference desk today. On the one hand, there was a library client who didn't believe the sheet of paper I handed him had contact messages for his federal, state, and county representatiaves. On the other, there was another who was grateful for addresses of local Internet cafes (from smartpages.com) and Starbucks, who offer wi-fi access.

Then there was the woman who needed information about some property in Texas. I found a website for the agency in the county she said the property was in, but couldn't bring up information on the property. C'est la vie.

I finished entering bibliographic records for AV media we received recently. The printouts will go to the AV staff in the morning.

A colleague posted a note about some issues that arose on Sunday, including the fact that kids were accessing MySpace.com. I leaped into my intellectual freedom mode, including posting the text of the Library Bill of Rights and pointing out that it's parents - and only parents - who are responsible for what their children - and only their children - read, view, or listen to in the library. She later clarified her message. It seesm the kids hacked into the Internet on the (supposedly) dedicated computers which offer access to our online catalog and databases.

Our cafeteria holds a contest each week, winner to get a free lunch. I was able to answer last week's question. For free, take!
